Hi
My wife and I are still thinking through our upcoming retirement options and have been seriously checking out travel trailers. One important side question is what is the energy level required to maintain a travel trailer?
We're older now but when our kids were growing up we had a pop-up trailer and would typically camp 5 or 6 weekends a summer plus one longer trip. But now, we're in our mid-60's and we don't have the energy we used to have. I definitely don't mind troubleshooting and researching problems, but I don't want my retirement to be 100% problem solving - I want to relax some also.
What are your experiences? Did some of you make the leap then regret it later? What are some of the lessons you've learned?
