Okay, we have been trying to figure out the best way to do the trip planned this summer. Because of the number of dogs involved, most hotels are out of the question. We have three now...and most have a two dog limit.
So we considered renting an RV. We went down today to look into it since we had kinda priced it out online and knew that to rent one for that long but ESP that many miles, we were gonna drop 5K on this vacation easily.
Anyway, the guy priced it out...we didn't commit to it tho cause I wanted to be sure of our options. So we went down to another RV dealer near us and started asking questions.
Due to the towing limit on our biggest vehicle (3500 lbs), we knew it would either be a VERY small travel trailer or a pop up.
We ended up buying a used popup. It's a 2010 Forest River, VERY nicely maintained. About 10 ft long packed up to tow. It does have more room when unpacked. And for this trip, we aren't replacing anything altho we will probably add our air mattress on top of the mattress that is there.
Now, this one does have A/C which for much of our trip will be needed but even if we just use it this ONE time, we would have spend the same amount anyway. And with it being ours, no one can tell us the dogs can't go.
But we figure even if this is the ONLY time we use it, it will have paid for itself. And dh finally has an excuse to add the tow hitch he's been wanting on his SUV.
Congratulations!
