Trouble is, it's that funny in-between time — too early to winterize, too late to plan a bunch of trips. So here's how to camp smart in the cool-weather sweet spot: chase the leaves, prep for the cold nights, and stay frost-aware without winterizing yet.

"They're basically the same" — if you ever hear a salesman say that about a 5th wheel and a travel trailer, run. 🏃

In this one I'm breaking down what actually matters: towing stability, whether your truck can legally handle the pin weight, how the living space feels different day to day, and why one of these retires your truck bed for good. Not the stuff everybody already knows — the stuff that actually decides which one is right for you.

Come see both in person at A&L RV Sales in Murfreesboro, TN — happy to walk you through the real numbers before you commit to anything.

Let me start with a confession: when I got into camping, I bought a lot of dumb stuff. A whole garage of gadgets that promised to change my life and instead just changed the contents of my junk drawer. So consider this post my apology tour — a fun little rundown of the things new campers waste mon...

5th wheel or travel trailer? It's THE question that stumps every new RV shopper — and the honest answer isn't "whichever's bigger." 🤔

I finally wrote the complete breakdown: what truck you actually need (can a half-ton tow a fifth wheel? kinda...), towing feel, space, safety, price, and a full FAQ of everything folks ask me.

"We don't charge fees!" ...cool, but what's your out-the-door price?

I sell campers for a living, and I'll be honest with you — a dealer bragging about "no fees" is like a restaurant bragging about "no cover charge." Sounds great until you see the bill.

Fees aren't the enemy. They're not even the story. The ONLY number that tells you the truth is out-the-door — sticker, doc fee, prep, freight, taxes, all of it, one final total. Compare THAT between dealers, not the fee list.

I break down exactly how to ask for it (and what to do if a dealer won't give it to you) in the video. If you're camper shopping right now, this one might save you a few thousand bucks.

Swing by A&L Campers & RVs in Murfreesboro if you want a straight answer and a real number — no games.

Follow along, I do this every week so you don't get taken for a ride (pun intended).
