| 13. When Camping Doesn't Make Sense and Check Your Reservations | 09 Sep 2019 | 00:25:35 | |
Sometimes taking the camper doesn't make sense. Usually it's totally a money decision. If you'd rather jump off a cliff than stay in a hotel it always make sense for you to camp, but for us it's not so black and white. We take you through different options and our thought process to make that decision. Keep checking those reservations. Sometimes the only campsite left is one that you might not be too stoked about. Trust us. Keep checking and calling. You never know what is going to open up. Option 1: Camping for 2 nights/600 mile trip. Total cost: $267 Option 2: Not camping for 2 nights/600 mile trip. Total cost: $250 Option 3: Camping for 4 nights/600 mile trip. Total cost: $417 Option 4: Not camping for 4 nights/600 mile trip. Total cost: $550

Part 2 of RV Newbie. We remember our first time camping with our camper. Backing into the spot, hooking up the water, power and sewer. I felt like everyone was watching me.

We wanted to talk through from beginning to end of the newbie experience. Check out the link below for the RV Newbie shopping list and some the products we mentioned.
