^Hows that work for cost coverage or reimbursement though if she’s traveling for work?
Presume her company will cover the same “amount” as if she did a typical fly/rent/hotel/eat out scenario?

She booked the RV space on her corporate card and she'll use it to fill up the truck too. We're going to meet our son up there, so the business/pleasure lines are going to get blurry. We'll probably limit the expenses to just the nights at the RV park and the fuel. It all hits her office's P&L anyway, so we're motivated to keep it lean.

We got a spot at an RV park for three nights, which cost about as much as a local hotel (maybe more, maybe less).
wow, must be nice to have hotels that cheep. we use to use our 5th for all the daughters hocky and basketball tournaments down on the coast. we could get a full hookup site with cable for 50ish a nigh, hotels were 180.00 and up, plus like you we could take the dog, make our own food and drinks and have our own bed. huge cost ssaver for use.
I also go to a big whisky fetival in Banff every fall and hotels at that time of the year are about 450/night. I get a 50amp power and water and sewer for 38 bucks a night so I usaly go up on a wensday and come home on monday for less money that one night in the hotel. free bus into town and 10 buck cab ride back if I miss the bus.

Hey Steve - LOL. Nope. Hotels aren't cheap. It's the other way around: The RV Parks are expensive. Nothing under a hundred bucks anywhere near the coast.

wow, when we used to do the daughters sports, 55 bucks gets you a full hook upand 35 bucks gets you a forest type site with no hookups. even banff 29.25 gets you unserviced, 34 gets you electric, and 40.75 gets you full hook ups, but there is also the prk fee of 20 bucks for a day, but I get a season family pass for 130ish as I am up there a lot and if your over 6 days it saves you money. if you go to fancy resorts you can spend upwards of 75 bucks a night.

We did it a few times. Couldn't amortize the rig and only got the standard milage rate and campground cost but when tied in with a pleasure trip worked out nice.

We are planning a road-trip from Calgary, Alberta to Prince Edward Island in Aug this year.
We thought about leaving the travel trailer and hoteling it along the way but did the math.
The extra fuel it would cost us to bring the trailer is about a wash when compared to hotel costs. We also have the convenience of having our own place to sleep and we can prep meals for the trip out to eliminate eating out costs.
We also like the convenience of being able to stop anywhere along the way and have a place to relax for as long as we want.
We did the same trip in 2017 and stayed in truck-stops along the way with the exception of one night in a campground. We are planning to do the same this year.
We also have the added benefit of being able to park the trailer on my brothers property free of charge for the duration of time we spend at our destination saving us even more accommodation costs.
Even if we didn’t save money bringing the trailer we would still do it.
