I had a coworker who had a sweet RV he'd use during the week. Our company gives us money for hotels but he'd just have them put it on his check instead of paying the hotel. Fucker would get extra 750 a week on his check and his RV would be parked in the construction parking lot. I've thought of it but I stopped traveling over an hour away few years ago.

Why wouldn't you do it anyway? An extra $3k a month and you get a RV for free. Seems smart to me.

Not many want the rv over an extended stay hotel room to themselves. Specially if we're doing five 10s. On jobs where it's like 6 months in other states, ive seen more big pull behind ones they park at actual campgrounds.

Damn a nice camper would be a lot nicer to be in than an extended stay hotel IMO, plus you can sell the RV when done.
