You're right, Brenda. But of course you are one of the people that have gone with me before you owned a camper. We always had a blast!! You were kind enough to always pay for gas and go way beyond what was needed. Plus you're the type of person that helps others as well! The person I'm taking about just took, took and took!! Hope you're having fun with your new mare!!

along when we had no idea what we were doing, or were even to
ignorant to know what questions to ask or what is expected from us
financially or personally.
I feel that mentorship (and befriending newbies) is a giving back to
the sport, just like volunteering at the rides. I enjoy talking to
the new people, and it's always fun having a large pool of other
riders to call on when you want to go ride. I'm not in it for the
money, and have no intentions of charging
mentoring/training/mileage/advice/pick you up in my trailer because
you're right around the corner and haven't bought yours yet fees.
Splitting the gas expenses seems reasonable to me, and it's what I've
done both as the camper owner, and the camper user. If I don't enjoy
that person's company (friend) then I wouldn't invite them in the
first place.
I usually end up getting spoiled, as the people that come with me are
much better cooks and I get great food in the bargain!
