Still using it. Gotta still make payments, pay insurance, license tags, whether its parking or in use, so we may as well use it.


My sentiment exactly. I'm not making payments so it can sit in the driveway. RV on !!!

The season is almost over in New England, however, I'm sitting in my RV right now (staying a a CG on Cape Cod). I'm doing this for a business trip rather than staying at a motel. I get home Thursday and head out Friday afternoon for a Holiday weekend trip to VT with the DW. The following weekend, we're back to the Cape. That may be the last trip until our February trip to FL. So yea, we're using it inspite of the economy.

Big plans for next summer, love to drive with the top down up north, but down here in Florida it's not the same. It's to flat and straight, love those country roads of in the hills. Probably go 6,000 miles a year, but last two were almost 0 due to family being in Denver, to far to drive. I will be glad when fuel gets back to $2.599 range, many more will travel if it does. I heard New Jersey is $2.989 for gasoline, and they pump it for you.

The heck with the economy! We just made most of our reservations for 2009.
We camp just as much but we don' go as far.

Still $3.19 in my area. Can't imagine having to pump my own gas all winter in bad weather.

We are just starting out with new (to us) MH. The gas price is a bummer and it's no fun being stuck without a toad on long trips. Gets kinda expensive spending $275 on gas for one weekend. We will do some short trips so the DW can follow in the car, and the gas price won't have such an impact.
