Suggestion regarding RV Campers

[Davey Crockett]

Nah bro, Van's creep me out as well, plus i can't sleep in the car, not after that whole Spider in my car Saga. At least with RV campers they are sealed off lol

You want to blend in with the locals if you are going to explore the Appalachian and Allegheny mountains.....

"Will it be a good investment to get a RV camper for road trips?"

An RV camper is never a good investment. The quality started going down in the 1980s.

Before going the RV route, rent one for a weekend and go camping.

My parents started a RV club, the Happy Hitchers back in 1974. By the early 80s the club grew too large and began building their own campgrounds.

Was becoming a logistical nightmare every winter reserving campgrounds for over 40 RVs and motorhomes for the upcoming summer.

This is one of the two campgrounds the Happy Hitchers built.

A farmer in our RV club donated the land.

Another young member lived in his trailer year around. He was the caretaker of a piece of land, with some improvements.

I was just a kid. Can remember our family's RV camping there. Nothing but land, woods, electricity, and a water spigot.


Last time I visited, same caretaker, forty years, going strong.

And living in a better trailer.

Yeah I hear RV's lose their value pretty quick, that's why i am looking a lot more into it, i don't want it to be one of those decisions that i take and later regret it, so I am taking my time, actually i am glad my car didn't have the tow package, that gives me time to think this through and do more research, because I would have to either install a tow package to be able to pull a upto 2000lb camper or I would get a different car that allows me to pull a 3000-3500 camper.

Let's start from the beginning.

As I understand it, you want to travel next year in a RV.

Will you be taking time off, or be working?

Others traveling with you?

What do you want to see?

So Plan is to take a Trip to Yellow Stone or Glacier National Park or Dinosaur National Park, but I am trying to make it a 2 week road trip, I could fly there then rent a RV and camp, but I am kinda guy who enjoy the Journey more than the destination.

I will be working, so I will be taking a 2 week off from work, unfortunately they don't let us work from home even though we technically can.

As of now, no I will be traveling alone.

Idea is to see the whole USA, but for now I am craving that region of CO/UT/OR/ID i love mountains/rivers/lakes, i invest in my camera so i can persue my hobby. But hotels in that area is expensive, @Oscar if he lives in Colorado knows that even a small decent cabin near good sites can cost 150+ per night, Idaho and Oregon is ever worse. So RV's can save up some of the money, not just living but also food situation, rather than looking for meals outside, I can bring some Halal food/Ramen with me that will cut cost of food.

that's the general idea so far.

Thank you.

You have two weeks. You like the mountains, I do too.

My advice is to consider the Smoky Mountains.

You will loose a day or two getting out West, when you could be driving the Blue Ridge Parkway.
