[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3270416, member: 15054"] I was almost in this predicament wanting a place to lay my head with wife and kids and take one of my boats with me as the boat is the reason to go to the lake. I am a tight wad or maybe I am about putting a pencil to it because I need to see the bottom line. Pull vehicle was not an issue as I could build anything I need. I had 455 Oldsmobile engines at the time. Buddy had a nearly new only used for 2 weeks travel trailer $2500 30 foot. My Bayliner is a 15 footer. I also had a 17 foot canoe and 4 HP outboard I clamped on the side..I ran trot line and drift fished many lakes and the Arkansas river below lock 16. Now the pencil. Cost of fuel would be more I needed to pay for a camp spot or hookups $ I need to clean the crapper and empty it ..If I cook fish or bacon inside on a rainy day the RV will get pretty smelly. Insurance on the RV. Tires and blow outs. I figured we went maybe 6 times a year to the lake with the family and stayed the night. I could stay in one of the Oklahoma state park cabins cheaper than I could do the RV thing. Then no crapper to empty. and they have the stove fridge and heat and ac and all the cooking supplies except food. I just pull my boat. When I go hunting or fishing by myself or a guy buddy I just sleep in a tent or my vehicle. Sometimes sleep in the boat. [/QUOTE]
