To plug-in, or not plug-in, THAT is the question...

I rarely get to go trail riding overnight anymore now that I'm back into the show thing, but when I do I rough-it...mostly because my trailer's not finished and wired yet

What do you all do?

We plug in, but we also have a generator if we need to rough it LOL

Plug in Turn on the air, climb up on the bed and watch TV. Nothing like roughing it.

I agree. I am all packed for tomorrow. Got the water tank full, gas for
the generator full, haybags full, hot water on demand charged and full
of propane, hayrack loaded down, bbq grill and microwave all ready and
lots of DVD's! Don't you guys just feel sorry for us? We have to sleep on a pillow top mattress with a down comforter.... poor us!

Coming in late here. Hope you had a good ride, Cindy. Sounds like you had it REAL rough. lol!

We just upgraded truck and trailer so we can do some horse camping. Starting from ground zero with tricking out the dressing room, though. A zillion things to be done to get it the way we want. Fortunately, we only live a mile away from a big trailer dealer, and will be significantly adding to their '07 profits.

What brand of generators do you all use? I'm told the Honda brand makes a really quiet one, but they're also really pricey. How do some of the less expensive brands compare (Colman, Kipor, etc.)? We won't be doing a huge amount of camping, so I'm trying to keep expenditures reasonable.

Honda can be pricey, but they will outlast a coleman, etc. If you're
willing to spend the money or you are lucky enough to find an RV
salvage yard, try and find an Onan. They are super quiet and last
forever.

Plug-in? Wow, I really want a LQ trailer. Wait, scratch that. I REALLY want any kind of trailer....

Cindy is right - Onan is definitely the way to go!! A bit more pricey, but worth it in the long run...very quiet, and last forever. I'd rather spend more upfront and know I won't have to replace it. (LOL, now ask me if I have a generator...NO...but when I buy, it'll definitely be an Onan!)
