Discamper 394 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 It would be cheaper for me to drive my Honda and rent an RV than it would for me to bring my TT over 4th July trip with the diesel prices Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 771 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 This is why we are bringing our popup to the Stone Mountain Grand Gathering instead of our Class A Diesel. 800 bucks in just fuel is beyond reasonable for a 3 day weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caveat lector 181 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Probably to my own detriment, I'm not going to worry about it. 50 weeks out of every year, I worry about the nickels and dimes. The other two weeks......well.......comfort and happiness rule the day. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessrick 10 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 It does kind of nip those weekend trips, that are 150 - 200 miles away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LORNADUCK 261 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks Carol, I have been talking to Jen and it looks like we are coming without the MH and going to stay in a pop-up. Now mind u I only have tent camped 2x in my life and I was 20. I am not like most who went from a tent to a pop-up to a tt to a MH. We went right to the MH!!!!! I told Rich I could do it, and all he did was :parrot:.I just have to figure out how to take everything that in the MH in my car. But it's worth it to be with fiends. :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingmommy aka Kelli 7 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Our trip to FW is only 4 weeks from today...I'm afraid to calculate the cost of diesel for our trip...it might make DH have second thoughts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They pay .51/mile for mileage so that's a chunk of money that we figured we'd be able to pay for the fuel and have some spending money left but the way it's going, I'm going to have to set more aside for spending!

Can throw one in the truck if necessary!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

canadianfockerfiend Trevor 1 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey when we are going on a trip I have a toonie and loonie jar. I put all my 1 and 2 dollar coins in it without fail. That usually pays off the fuel cost and you never miss a few bucks outta your pocket here and there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stacktester 78 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'm thinking Richie and you in the front abd Annie and I can have the back of the pop up. As many times as you've let us stay with you I thnk it's the least we can do Lorna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liv luvs disney 2 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I hope you all have a wonderful time on the SMGG! I'll blow my horn and wave from the interstate as we're heading to Hanna Park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 We'll be at the Atlanta house two weeks before. You picked the wrong week. Could have been quite the GG at the MB residence. Maybe next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
