There is one HUGE killer app for campers. You have a dog or dogs, and the dogs have to go with you. Either because you want them to go with you, or you can't leave the dogs with
someone competent or dont want to pay for it, which to do it properly is expensive. Dog friendly motels/hotels are a huuuuuuuuuge pain in the ass. One of my coworkers basically has his camper because of this, because when he road trips hes sick of having to call 48 different places that will accomodate his two different large frame dogs and all the stupid restrictions they place on them (or sometimes, additional fees etc).

ETA2: I thought about it myself, but for an individual or even a couple w/no dogs, with the way that campground slot fees are the money never works out well for the amount I'd use it. It's like reloading bulk 5.56, you're not going to make out unless you've loaded thousands and thousands of rounds. Or unless its a weird place where you can stash a camper for little or nothing compared to the median hotel price in the area. (like you say, a friends yard or lot or something).

[QUOTE="drgrant, post: 8338335, member: 859"] There is one HUGE killer app for campers. You have a dog or dogs, and the dogs have to go with you. Either because you want them to go with you, or you can't leave the dogs with someone competent or dont want to pay for it, which to do it properly is expensive. Dog friendly motels/hotels are a huuuuuuuuuge pain in the ass. One of my coworkers basically has his camper because of this, because when he road trips hes sick of having to call 48 different places that will accomodate his two different large frame dogs and all the stupid restrictions they place on them (or sometimes, additional fees etc). ETA2: I thought about it myself, but for an individual or even a couple w/no dogs, with the way that campground slot fees are the money never works out well for the amount I'd use it. It's like reloading bulk 5.56, you're not going to make out unless you've loaded thousands and thousands of rounds.
