The Camper to Log Cabin Transition
Are you ready to trade in your camper for a log cabin?
Millions of people in the United States hit the road each year with a camper in tow. If you are one of these people, you know the routine quite well: load up the camper, drive to a campsite, set up the camper, relax for a couple of days (maybe even a week or two), tear down and pack up, haul the camper back home and unload. For many camper enthusiasts, the minor inconveniences of this ritual is more than offset by the few days of pleasure spent enjoying your camping experience.
However, if you are beginning to feel like it is more hassle to take your camper on the road than it’s worth, then maybe it’s time you considered an alternative: a permanent log cabin! With the cost of gas increasing steadily with no end in sight, many people are paying more to get their campers to their destination than they are paying for their campsite fees! And when you add this to a year-round payment (on a camper you can only use part of the year), it is clear to see why many folks are trading up to a permanent log cabin or log camp.
Think about this. A new 35-40 foot camper can retail for between $40,000 and $80,000. And like an automobile, it depreciates significantly the minute you drive it off the dealer’s lot. Now, you’re probably thinking: What about all the creature comforts that make the camper just like home? With a custom designed log cabin, you can have all of those amenities and not have to be so concerned with the wear and tear on those expensive moving (hydraulic) parts.
The best part is that your new log cabin will provide year-round fun and enjoyment for years to come and when the time comes to sell your investment, like most real estate, it will have appreciated in value over time. This means that you are not just throwing your money away!
So ask yourself these questions: Are you tired of the hassles associated with packing up, hauling, setting up, tearing down and unpacking? Are you fed up with the outrageous fuel costs to tow your camper? Does it bother you to make payments for a camper that sits idle/unused for more than half the year? Would you like to have a profitable exit strategy when the time comes?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then maybe it’s time you considered investing in a log cabin. A log cabin gives you year-round use, all the amenities of home, a permanent place to entertain friends and family or just relax, and it is an appreciating asset.
Say goodbye to the camper and hello to a Rustic Log Cabin. When you’re ready to make the transition, give me a call and I’ll walk you through the camper to log cabin transition. You’ll be glad you did!
