thanks, everyone. I also got a few private messages. I believe travel trailer people are really nice which is departure from hotel.
I am actually looking for reasons to buy a TM so did not take too much convincing. I came up with the following comparison:
Advantage:
-- Complete get away from internet and TV.
-- Develop hand-on skill and common sense with your kids.
-- Save money on extended travel, possible in isolation.
Disadvantages:
-- Camping in a trailer gehtto.
-- Constant worry and work. Tire, hitch, axle, battery, water, security...
-- Trailer toilet needs to be addressed every few days.
-- A lot of cleaning. I mean a lot of cleaning throughout the trip. My wife is a clean freak, not really, she is just a clean person, so she will be constantly cleaning during the trip. How can we clean with only 10 gallon of water?
Conclusion:
Travel trailer is a ideal for for young family with a lot of time under budget. When I was young, I was under budget but had no time. Now that I am older and have a lot of time, there is not a budget problem. Now I have to convince DW.
