Re: vacationing with a camper trailer
In my case it blocks my view and makes me feel hemmed in. I like to look out and view the osprey flying from their nests and not a huge, ugly, polluting, heap of metal.

Views are not protected as a homeowner. If your municipality doesn't prohibit an RV to be permanently parked there and their house doesn't contravene any bylaws I believe they are in their rights to park an RV on their driveway.

I think it's fine to park them on the driveway. It's only people who try to move them around on public roads that I find offensive. They're as slow as a convoy of Harley-Davidsons and a bugger to pass due to wobbling all over the place and being half a mile long once the dreary griege box is in tow.

You believe correctly. What made you decide to post this? There aren't currently any RVs on the next door driveway but if they were I am within my rights to dislike it.

Yes I am being snobbish about them.

I would love an airstream but they are so expensive. We still havent gotten any further in my daydream. The house up the road has a massive class A motorhome on the drive, they have just retired and plan to sell up and travel everywhere. Its gorgeous, got the whole shebang going on in there, with granite and all. I have some envy going on although I am not in any way ready to be old enough to retire yet....

I've seen a few wild Airstream conversions, the most recent was probably 20 years ago on a Checker station-wagon.

I get why some people like using a trailer to live in when staying in a single location for days at a time, but I see no benefit at all in using such things to travel from place to place.

The amount they will be spending on gas and campsite fees will enable you to travel to the same destinations in your car, arriving earlier affording more time to see things, spend your nights in a nice hotel, eat at nice eateries and still have money left over. Granted, one can save the campsite fees by parking in a Walmart parking lot, but that isn’t my idea of a great time.

That beach is dreamy as I have (fortunately) frequented it numerous times and a typical vacation home around there is upwards of $1500 a week (unless its a flea-pit)

My old bosses bought an amazing trailer (all $70,000 worth of it) and every October they drive down to Florida and set it up and spend the winter down there, coming back occasionally to check on their staff. Then in the spring they haul it back to Ontario and park it up in Muskoka somewhere...
