I sympathize--my wife is very frustrated with her job (for good reason) and feels the aggravation and time away from family it's requiring has become more than the $$ is worth, and a year of looking for something better hasn't yielded any results. We've pretty much decided she'll work till the end of the year while we save up as much as possible and she continues to look for something else and, if nothing materializes, she'll give notice. It's true we'll save money on child care, but not THAT much compared to her salary, and we're all budgeted on having 2 incomes like we have ever since we moved in together in 1989. And frankly, I'm a bit scared of the prospect. Theoretically we can scrape by, but it'll be tight, and it'll mean eliminating what financial safety net we have (not much).

We have a camper trailer to tow, and musical gear to be hauled around, etc.
What kind of camper do you have? And where do you take it? My wife & I went tent camping a few times BK (before kids) and want to try it again (with a bigger tent of course) when we're ready to brave it with the kids... not quite yet, after our experience in the Poconos, but maybe next summer. No heavy wilderness survival, just a nice out-of-the-way campground. After seeing my boss's camper that he's got parked year-round at a place up in Bucks County I've even toyed with a small popup camper at some point.
