There are different options for towing, either 5th wheel in which the overhang of the trailer sits over the top of the tow vehicle, such as a semi truck does. Others have trailer ball attachments. Motorhomes, [class A] are a big rectangle that has it's own engine and can tow another vehicle, or two if you are in some states. Many now have "slide outs" which greatly increase their livability. The smaller the unit, the more adept at 'camping' or short stays. If someone wants to "live" in one, the bigger it is, the more options available. Similar to boating, width [beam] is everything. Backing into 'camping' spots success is in direct obverse proportionality to the experience of the driver. The 5th wheels tow nicer [so they say], the "ball attachment" types allow more use of the bed of the tow vehicle, and will back into tighter locations. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

I visited twice before moving here but apparently I didn't visit in the winter. I just assumed the desert was always warm. I was 23 years old and naïve. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

It’s why wifey ruled out Vegas for second home. Too cold for her in winter. |

That's funny, especially since we have had zero rain in 185 straight days. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I think we had 6 days without rain this summer, but maybe not. It rains at night and I never know about it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
