Another advantage to living in a motorhome (or fifthwheel/tougue dragger). We always keep the onboard propane tank full (run off of a five gallon tank when we are parked), the fresh water tank full, the gas (or diesel in the near future) tank at least half full, the two slide-out pantries are always stocked with enough food for the two of us for a week or more. So all we have to do is run the slides in, jacks up, hitch the toad to the rear end, and we are off. But, if we are in L.A., S.F., or any other large city, unless we are really fast hitting the road, we are going to run into the worlds larges traffic jam, and no one will be going anywhere real soon. Another reason to avoid those places...
