Austin RV Show

This weekend, the Austin RV Show is going on at the convention center downtown. The lifestyle has some appeal to me. The idea of staying in one place for several days or weeks then driving off to another location with all your stuff sounds like a great way to travel. It's like having a moving home. However, the economics of it doesn't make sense. The cost of an RV far outweighs the cost of staying in hotels. Where it does make sense is in remote locations where there aren't any facilities or being able to stay in a location where it is very hard to access. An example are race car drivers. They just park their RV on the inside track and can stay close to the track. Another example are remote national parks where there aren't any facilities. But there are still so many places I can go that have facilities that it doesn't really make sense to buy an RV yet. I think people buy these to live a certain lifestyle. Still, I enjoy looking at these things.
