But you have more people in your clan. I can't drive both at the same time. I can't even rationalize that I might.
P.S. Don't ask me how much time I spent seeing what my Honda could tow. (Nothing.)
Someone on this board pointed me in the direction of a lightweight pop-up which advertised as being towable by just about any car. I was eager. Then I checked the book for my budget model four cylinder Honda Accord. Not even close. Not do-able. Then I thought van, get rid of the car. I can't stomach that yet. I want to. And I don't have to do a lot of bargaining with myself to do what I want to do. It's just such a great car otherwise. Shitt, I should sleep in the car with my dog, and bring my three tents and hammock for outdoor rooms.
To bad you didn't just join the army! You could have enjoyed the early starts, and the experience of long-distance forced marches in the rain, etc., without having to pay for all the expensive kit.I bought all the fine gear. And then I found out there are guides/leaders with the Adirondack Mountain Club who want to start the day at 3 a.m., and that's what I ended up doing.... So I pretty much have all the gear.

Sometimes, these days, it sure seems like it!Is the motor home becoming extinct?
But virtually all of the license plates are from Oregon - out of state license plates are extremely rare. One camper came by when we set up to tell us that we were the only other TX license plate he'd seen in a long time, and that it never used to be that way.

Don't know about that, but I'm camping with mostly small passenger cars, trucks and small trailers. I doubt there are many folks in this campground pulling that stunt - this is low budget state park camping here.Don't a lot of folks license their high-value vehicles in Oregon to avoid paying state sales tax?- I know when I lived in Washington a few years ago Oregon plates on Porsches and motor homes were a big problem- and I know my uber-wealthy BIL has all his vehicles licensed thru a shell corporation there.
Not sure about Oregon but one well known way to avoid paying state taxes on a motorhome or other high-value vehicles is through a Montana LLC. I looked into it when buying our motorhome but found it to be way too questionable for my comfort level.
How does that work? Are LLC's tax exempt in Montana? Residency required?
No Montana residency is required and there are significant tax savings...
Be careful, very careful. As Audrey mentioned, Colorado is taking action on LLC used to register RVs and other states may follow.
Every year we have a few entrepreneurs who become citizens of the Sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii and stop paying their state/federal taxes.Be careful, very careful.
Here you go: Self-Proclaimed States.Every year we have a few entrepreneurs who become citizens of the Sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii and stop paying their state/federal taxes.
LOL! That describes an entirely different universe than the one I live in!Personally, I don't 'get' the RV lifestyle. Based upon this article [globeandmail.com: The end of the road], it seems to consist of obese elderly people driving gas-guzzling [-]behemoths[/-] 'rigs' from scrubby trailer park to distant scrubby trailer park (with perhaps a few overnight stops at empty Walmart parking lots en route), where they plunk down their oversized persons in lawn chairs and smoke and consume junk food. To each their own, I guess.

Ignorance of other cultures is regrettable. Boastful ignorance is shameful.
