Interesting thread and some excellent recommendations.

Crowbob's posts about his Scamp (I think that is the brand - don't hold me to it!) have got me thinking trailers and dual use.

I have spent over 100 days in hotels this year and while I have no overarching compliant, I specifically hate 90% of hotel beds. At the Hampton I stay at in Morganton, NC I always request a specific room because the bed is excellent. Room 411.

I get room 411 about 1/3 of the time but they are renovating the 4th floor so I am sneakers up on my favorite bed from here on out. I am in agony because of my back.

So I have started looking at small trailers (I do not need much space, nor does my wife) for business and emergency purposes. I like the idea of having off grid capability for extended periods of time and having a single point of assembly and a rack that is comfortable and doesn't f'up my back.

I have looked at Scamps, small Airstreams and this thing: ADAK Adventure Trailers - First Look | Busted Wallet

We'll see. I am not a prepper by any means but I do like a certain level of contingency planning - probably why I have three generators, years of fire wood, and an array of spoonage, etc. It comes with the reality of hurricanes and no power for over a week numerous times.
