Whats yall's experience with camping at the track vs getting a hotel near by? I've done both but only did hotels with my dad when I was a kid. It was fun for me staying in a hotel with my dad with both bikes in the room but I don't know if it was a pain in the ass for him.
My wife wants a camper but I don't want to put the wear on my truck and I love my truck too much.

I don't party, so I won't be up and out whoopin' and a hollerin' til late.
I also like hot showers.
Soft beds are nice too
Oh, and real toilets
Yeah, I like hotels
When at the hotel though, you miss hanging out and slamming beers with your buddy’s. And my kids miss hanging out riding pit bikes
Taking a break from drinking right now myself, and we’re going to mini o’s next week. Brining the toy hauler cause only 2.5 hours away and 7 nights, wouldn’t mind the nice holiday in there though since I’m not drinking....
Best camper setup out there IMO is a Funmover. I don't have one but I want one because I do understand about wear and tear on your truck and I don't like it either.
The Shop
We use the camper less and less, like Hiltons and Holiday Inns with an enclosed trailer with air conditioning
Hotels get to be real expensive if you’re doing it a lot. Might as well just keep the money in your rig. But then maintenance and upkeep and i don’t know. Tough question. Do what you feel works for you.
But....happy wife. Happy life....
For me, I Rock up to the hotel Saturday, check in, throw my stuff in the room then head to the track to have a look and meet up with people. Then it's off to have dinner somewhere, shower and bed. Get up in the morning, throw my stuff in the ute and head to the track. Just a whole lot less to do than setting up camp
When I was on mini bikes there were about 3 or 4 families and we always stayed at the same caravan parks, went out for dinner together and us kids all hung out together
Rv is the only way to go. The wife can pee while I’m driving
They both have their strong points, but to me the work with camping for longer spells just isn't worth the hassle. Racing alone is work enough, eliminating headaches any way you can is a win. After a full season, the money spent on both damn near breaks even once you break it all down......unless your rig goes south somewhere.
Pit Row
Happy Wife, Happy Life.
Get a Toy Hualer and settle this. You can find something that your truck can tow without any harm.
Good Luck and See Ya at the Races!
Camper at the track is the way to fly.
I’ve posted these pics before but, nothing beats waking up to this or, hanging out like this.
Plus, overall its cheaper. I use a Promaster van., unmarked and typically have 3 bikes in it.
No trailer payment and no toylauler payment. For racing it can't be beat. But if you like camping, throw out the monetary benefit of staying at a hotel.
