How about something different

[JimG.]

How would you deal with the cold temps plumbing wise? I thought most RV’s were used only in above freezing weather?

Honestly don't know a thing about the topic of RV's. That's a good question.

Taco Tuesday! With margaritas to go! That is one thing that is cool about this whole thing - to go adult bevs!

I know a little bit but maybe the higher end RV's are weather proof? My Uncle had a retired friend whose motto was when his heater kicks on he moves South .

Met some people 25 years ago at Keystone that traveled around living in a RV. They skied in the winter (as well as drive to California to visit their adult kids) and hung out on cape cod In the summer.

go on youtube and look up The Great Adventure. My friend Mark has everything you need to know about RV's.

I was a busy slug yesterday
sparkled the wall..hate speckling
built a work bench
built a 3 legged saw horse..another on the way..self leveling..wonder why no one sells them
continued with the tool wall
a bit tired after all that.
next I want to refinish my Wagner skis. The African wood top layer is bashed up pretty good.

I like it when my walls sparkle too!

Hopefully this one will..a little.

I'm guessing those $300,000 motorcoach based RV's have those types of amenities. Onboard heat/AC, environmentally protected plumbing, onboard solar power generation, etc.

I will also guess the limiting factor for RVing is finding a place to park it.

There’s always Walmart.

There is always the skyeship base parking lot at Killington. You always see one or two parked there.

You can get a decent Class A RV used with 25,000'ish miles for $60k - $100k. I'm surprised more people & small families dont do this for weekend skiing.

The advantage it has over buying a $60-$100k condo is you're not tied to the same ski resort, which seems like a pretty huge advantage. I guess the disadvantages are not everyone gets their own room, and space. But if it's only used Friday night to Sunday night during winter & maybe a few summer trips, I wouldn't think those big negatives.

Would mostly be for my wife and I so space not a real issue.

That is some good info.

Just make sure you park in the lot across the street, I could see parking in the smaller lots by the lodge pissing people off.

My old neighbors were rather anal retentive. They had a simple pop up camper , a week before their vacation they would air it out and start cleaning. They would go away for a week return and air it out and start cleaning again.

If you’re retired it makes sense to me or if you have a garage to store it in . But maybe look at a rental for short periods ? I have to imagine they depreciate significantly. I like the idea of RVing but could never convince my wife.

My wife and I would like to get a small T@B when the boys are out of the house.

I think a husband & wife (no kids or kids are out of the nest) is the perfect situation for that. Yet you really never see it at ski resorts. There must be something I'm missing. Why do we see tons of these class A luxury campers at every summer & fall vacation location, but not at winter locations?

Big time. I would never consider buying one new, but obviously plenty of people do.

I’m not an RV guy but I admire it from afar. I don’t know about doing it in winter weather. It boxes you in, especially at night. Part of the RV appeal is spending time outdoors.
