No I am hoping that the places I work will offer spaces, or I can find an RV lot nearby. My traveling will mostly be chosen on who has this availability. Im pretty flexible and there are many hospitals that do this. I am a travel critical care RN.

Anyone else have anymore stories or information on this topic? I think Ive decided to get around a 20ft enclosed trailer and 38-40ft DP I hope this works!

We recently started full-timing and have gone the 4-down tow bar route. We planned on a 45 foot coach and didn't want to experience the problem of having to park the trailer at a separate spot. The advantage of 4-down is time and no trailer to park. We can hookup in 5 minutes or less and unhook in half the time. A trailer, open or enclosed, has lots of advantages, we just didn't want to park one, for now.

...thanks for keeping the conversation alive. Since my last post I've got the the car trailer and the dinghy. The dinghy is a 2011 Ford Escape 2WD and it will go on a 20 foot 2014 Finish Line Challenger Tilt bed. I rigged the Escape to tow the trailer so I can move it around if needed. The only issue I've had to piece together is the tie-down straps. After much trial and error I've got wrecker quality frame hooks, 5K ratchet straps, and 5K axle loops. This rig will secure the weight of the body to the deck of the trailer, resulting in a more secure ride. This is similar to the way the OEM transport their new cars. And now, after all is said & done, our credit has been sufficiently abused for a couple of years. After the holidays we'll get this rig on the road and see how it does. I hope every body stays warm and happy. TTFN
