Anyone use either a RV or a porch trailer? I've been thinking of heading in this direction with competitions. Pros and cons of each?
What type of cooker? The J3?
RVs typically provide more 'creature comforts'.
Haha, This is the real reason for wanting an RV, but in reality I see more people with porch trailers. I think most people probably want the easier setup and available work space. Foregoing the comforts of home is probably a small price to pay to be able to do your best work possible in a kitchen-like setting. Who needs to shower anyway??? :loco:
The above posts pretty much sum up the pros and cons. It really comes down to when you plan to arrive and who you cook with.
With the RV, we enjoy getting in on Thursday, setting up "Home" and enjoying the ammenities, and even staying over until Sunday depending on the venue. If I rolled in on Friday afternoon and back out on Sat solo, no set up would certainly be the way to go.

Plus when you're not competing, you can go camping.
That's what we thought, but in 5 years with the toy hauler guess how many times we have gone camping?
Yep... Zero :-D We keep all of our comp stuff in the trailer, so going camping would mean cleaning it out :becky:
Now with the drums I roll them out and cook on the ground.
Ron - Do you set up an EZ up, or cook under the awning. I find the EZ Up the biggest pain to properly set up/tie down, but enjoy the sitting space free'ed up.
we just upgraded to a "porch" trailer (porch becuase it's all enclosed, we open up the ramp area when we're cooking), and we have an 8' kitchen, 3 bunks in the front and a bathroom with a shower. It's a game changer for us since it used to take an hour or more to set up, now we park, level, hook up power and water and we're good to go.

Here's a good secondary question to my original... Who here competed without a trailer at first? How much better is it having one vs. not?
