- malfist 4mo agoWho do you think spends more? Your neighbor vacationing a few hours away from home? Or that international visitor who wants to see everything they can in their one week in the country?
- whatever1 4mo agoDepends. If they arrive in an RV and just do one grocery run in a German chain during the their entire month of vacay, we could skip them.
- malfist 4mo agoI'd like to know more about this RV that can store an entire month of food. Sounds pretty fancy.
- ceejayoz 4mo agoYou can’t find a spot for a 50 pound sack of rice or two?
- malfist 4mo agoSo let me get this straight. Foreign tourist spend less money in your country than domestic tourists because the foreign tourist are driving in with an RV and living off of a fifty pound bag of rice during their vacation?
- ffsm8 4mo agoFwiw, there are a lot of highly frugal people in eg the surfer/kiting community (example!) which do indeed spend pretty much nothing where they're visiting for their hobby. And they do often smell and leave trash behind. So I can imagine that being true if you're living in one of those hotspots... It's a hard topic though
- ceejayoz 4mo agoLet me set this straight: My point is you have an incorrect idea of how much space a month of food (and it needn't all be rice; that just illustrates the point) takes up. You can readily fit it in an RV, especially a big one.
