We have both a boat and a camping trailer. Cost comparison? Well, there really is no way. The boat is so much more expensive than camping it is not even close.

We got the camper to get to places not on the water such as out west. Also, it is for going to my grandson's football games. He plays in the SEC. You can cover a lot of ground towing a camper at 12 to 14 mpg, or you can set up for a few days. Out west there is a lot of BLM land free to camp with just an annual permit. That is similar to anchoring without marinas. I like to do both.

I have as much in my dinghy, davits, and hoist as I do in my trailer. No way around it boats are expensive.
