TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!! I too am on a disability check, house in dis-repair, living in a camper, but I have 2 cats, one dog! Take the camper & tent. Never been to Co, but I'd try the most southern portion I could afford, might be warmer. I love the outdoors & camp a lot. The reason I say take camper & tent is you may need an outdoor area protected from the weather. Also gives you some storage area should you find you've over packed the camper. Try google for info on climate/areas there. You can probably find info on campgrounds & their prices too. Good luck & let us know what you find!
