^^ haha, Well here in Cheyenne I am looking at an 87 mile commute each way, there are no closer housing options 
with the work truck I can cut about 20 miles off by taking gravel roads. When I lose those privileges in the coming month I will have to drive the longer highway route with about three miles of gravel road(my goat will not be a regular of gravel roads). I need a commuter! ( another 88 Nissan Sentra would be ideal!)

No, nearest campground is thirty miles away and about $375 a month, when you have a town of 2200 ppl and 500 hundred const workers show up things fill up quick! So I may commute for 6 months or so until I can get a TT bought.

Well, I'm enjoying a lovely evening with an outside temp of 62* here in South Dakota. The high tomorrow is in the 70s. Not going to miss the 100s at all.
And I saw a nice rig outside of the hotel when I pulled up tonight. Hopefully I get to the office before he decides to hit the road in the morning. I bet that thing rides nice going down the highway...

Today.....on my commute home it actually rained on me!!!! It was storming here in McKinney!!! We had almost 1/2 inch of rain here!!! Wow, im sure the parched soil and dry grass/trees appreciated that!!
When I left work my overhead said it was 102 degrees....when I got home it was 77.

With the exception of not having a washer and dryer and a dish washer, living in mine would not be very hard to do. That's without the wife, of course.

very true, I am looking at 30 - 35' foot range, with ALL the amenities like washer and dryer.
20K should get me a decent TT . I was thinking toy hauler but now since I bought that enclosed trailer my mobile garage I do not need a toy box any longer. I have one I can drag be hind the TT, ROAD TRAIN !!

And even Texas winters could use more insulation! I have skirting on mine to keep the draft from going under the trailer, I highly recommend that before winter hits. Even nicer if you can get a popout, mine is 32' by 8' and it's still not much room, my whole life revolves around a straight line. I can't wait until I move into somewhere I can move laterally.
