When I was doing Katrina work in Miss. I was paying $460 a week for a room in a boarding house (got my wife and dog with me) and I got tired of that and purchased a 2007 model travel trailer for roughly $18,000. Needless to say, it's paid for itself.
I'm in FL now and just pull the RV around with by bucket truck when I have to move. I got a GMC 3500, gas motor, 350 C.I.D. motor and have now problem pulling 600 or 700 miles to the next job.
