I'm trying to see if I can beat the hotel rates for a dog show. The hotel wants $80 the first and last night, and $130 for the two in between. Will a camper beat that?

Please help me.
 
I've looked into renting campers before, and I can tell you that the hotel will be quite a bit less expensive.

I can't give you exact numbers because it varies by size of camper, rental location, damage deposit, etc... but a hotel will be much cheaper 99% of the time. Even very small campers are usually much more expensive than a hotel room. You have the daily rental fees (almost always $200+), plus a lot of other various fees tacked on, which really add up.

Also, all rentals I have looked at have had a strict "no dogs" policy. I have never been able to find one that will allow pets.
 
I looked into renting an RV to go to USDAA nationals- the RV companies all had "no pet" policies and said they will charge cleaning fees if they find you did it anyway.
 
Might be worth it to just buy a small camper, assuming you're going to continue going to shows. I just got an ancient pop-up this year (I was lucky, it was only $250). It's not in great shape, but it works and it's comfortable, and it fits me and the dogs. And being a pop-up, it's low profile so it doesn't really hurt my mileage that much. I usually get 600km on a tank, with the pop-up attached I get 500km. Now that I've got it, I'm not ever going back to tenting, which I've done for 30 years.
