As the title says and as many people do here, I dream if having a bit of freedom to go on weekends out to nature. I am not stupid that most of the time the calculation doesn’t work to save money. why?

  • parking space at home is expensive
  • no wild camping allowed and camping spots are either full or super expensive (near hotel price)
  • maintenance, road tax, insurance - fix costs are high in Switzerland
  • either you only do holiday like this so overall I want that cool feeling but anyway I turn it, it simply is not worth it, unless I use it every month more than twice and/or do some wild camping. Does anyone have reliable longterm experience and can share realistic numbers? PS: For my neighbour it pays out but only because its their only car, they spend 1 month (teacher höhö) in summer abroad and they do wildcamping. We can’t apply this:(. submitted by /u/bikesailfreak
