While I don't doubt the stats given by slowmover in regards to camper usage, I have to wonder if the lack of use is partly due to the lack of efficiency. The buyers probably intend to use them more but when faced with $4 gas and 8 MPG they end up spending $100 on gas for a weekend getaway. Add $25 a night at least to camp and you end up $75/night. Not to mention ll the hassles of a camper. Next thing you know you end up in hotels on the short trips and use the camper once a year. I have thought about renting a storage lot closer to the recreation area but we like to spread our trips around.
