Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
DW and I have been batting around the idea of getting an RV to make our snow birding trips between FL and MD more pleasant/less intense. We think it would make travelling with the dogs easier, and if it took a week or more to get there, no problem. As it is now, we blast down there in 2 days, since finding a decent hotel that accepts dogs is difficult. And if we find one it tends to be full of other people and their dogs. Who wants that?
So anyway, we're thinking a class C, maybe 25-30'. But if we get one we don't want to just use it twice a year, so we'll do some other trips too, sightseeing and visiting far flung friends and family. Tonight DW mentioned that it would be fun to jump in and do an overnighter to Assateague or the Skyline Drive or something like that. But I don't think I've ever heard of anyone doing a short trip like that in a RV. I guess I'm assuming the set up and tear down is a big enough pain that most people don't do it for less than a week or so. At least a long weekend.
I'm not a member of any RV forums (yet), but I know there are a lot of RV'ers here. Do any of y'all use it for a one or two night camping trip? Or is my impression of the work involved in getting ready and then packing it away accurate. I'm actually hoping I'm wrong on this one. It would be cool to just get an itch to go somewhere and be able to be on the road in an hour or two, then come back and close her up in another hour or so. I await the combined wisdom of the experts. Thanks.
