Lou, you need to get yourself an old airstream trailer, fix it up, and hit the road. I looked at a couple 2 years ago. BB didn’t like them. Not big enough for her dogs so I quit looking. I am not twisting her arm to go anyplace with me. BTDT, no more.
I say "fix up an older one" only because you've expressed a frugal nature, and you're a fix-it guy. I'm sure you'd get a lot of satisfaction out of such a project. CE, any clean trailer would be OK for me. Most of the old AirStream trailers are pricey so I looked for an alternative and saw some STREAMLINER TRAVEL TRAILER http://sacramento.craigslist.org/rvs/398994070.html (just an example) but, anything clean and in good condition would do. I am not into brands or status symbols.
I'm not suggesting that you go so far as to sell your house and all your stuff and move into one of these things; that would be just too much for BB, I'm sure. BUT, I bet you could work a compromise. I know I could work a compromise as in http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/100-NO-RE...sspagenameZWDVW if it had a place for 3 dogs and 3 cats. I said no BTW.
Sa far as money, I have it but the motorhome wouldn’t be used enough to justify the cost.
BB is doing her usual resistance to going anywhere today so I am off alone to visit friends.
