@Stereoguy That's a good plan. I'd have to demolish a house next door to do that, and doubt that I could get it past the planning department to build one on my property now.

When I rented one with my nieces and nephews for an "adventure" trip to the Grand Canyon, one of the nephews was afraid of breaking down in the middle of nowhere. I said "You need not worry about that, since this is a coach like Roller, where it fails to proceed under its own power. It does not break down." LOL He wanted to search for old mines and such in the wilderness as my lady friend had filled his head with her tales of ghost towns, desert phantoms, UFOs, etc. -- not to mention the natural resources and ecosystem of the desert. It was quite a change from the Northeast for them, but Prevost rental can pay for a used coach, even if you only drive it moderately.

@Stereoguy That would definitely be convenient to have full hookups at home before you head out again. It would make it much easier to deal with a turnaround.

@Stereoguy You'd probably use it more, too, if it was ready to go at a moment's notice just steps away from the house.

@Stereoguy That's a good thing. Do you ever go to BLM campgrounds? I have been told that some are great, but then some are desolate and one might not want to be the sole vehicle in the wilderness.

@Stereoguy Yes, so many lands out west are BLM with campgrounds. Jupiter Lighthouse is BLM in the east, but they don't have RV facilities. Some are more developed than others, but some seem to be pretty remote from what I have seen, which is awesome for astronomy purposes, but I'd not want to be a sitting duck in a large luxury RV in the middle of the desert or mountains.

@Stereoguy Yes, and I have seen some where you have the old Winnebago with the covers on the tires, so that's clearly someone who's there to stay for the length of time permitted by the park, some are two weeks and some might be a little longer. I know someone who owns a lot at a country club resort for coaches, and they like it, but tend to stay within the confines of the resort and drive their golf cart around, and/or drive into town in their car. My only issue with them is some of the people there can be a bit too social, i.e., I'm all for being friendly but if looking to get away, I don't want to be in a forced social setting.
