Continuing our northward trend, we left Laramie for Casper. But unfamiliar with Casper's camping options and facing a full day of "chores," we again opted for an AirBnb (up 'til now we've had good luck). At $69.00 a night it seemed a bit pricey, but sounded convenient.
The unit was pictured by itself without the surrounding buildings and though the neighborhood was described as urban we were completely unprepared for what we found....urban WASTELAND!!!
Still, neither of us having ever been in a 5th wheel, we approached with curiosity. Someday, when I'm totally bored, I'll look into where "Fun Finder" is positioned in the market. We found it hard to believe anyone would buy ANYTHING this chintzy....except maybe as a hovel for your immigrant slaves that you condescended to let have some pseudo plumbing (it stank!) and a noisy refrigerator.
We left the next morning earlier than I've broken camp from anywhere except the time I inadvertently camped at the wrong end of a shooting range.
Did they advertise that as a 5th wheel? Looks like a travel trailer to me. Fun Finder is firmly at the bottom of the barrel in the hierarchy of towables.
ReplyDeleteAllison!! Bless yer heart for noticing!
DeleteKristen said it was advertised as a Camper-RV and she doesn't know the difference between a 5th wheel or anything else.
I immediately went into shock when I saw the neighborhood and simply went inside. Somehow we got to referring to it as a 5th wheel but it does INDEED look like a travel trailer. What's wonderful is that SOMEBODY (you!!) is paying attention!
Thanks for the bit about Fun Finder's market position. As a retired Marketeer, I STILL find information like that to be of interest...at least after THAT experience.
