I love it when people tell me how much money they are saving on hotels, after springing for 3 or 4 hundred k (or more), 100 gallon fill ups, and rv park fees. My idea of roughing it—the Hyatt Regency!!
And I used to think people that had fans and portable TV’s in their tents and a/c in pop-up campers when they went camping was silly. I thought I was doing good having a “floor” in my tent. lol
So nice these days that they offer separate camp sites for those of us who have tents. Before, it was just awful. You could end up between a trailer and a camper and the RV across the way would run a generator and drown out the quiet, the birds, the ocean. I need an air mattress these days but still love to put a few boxes in the trunk and off I go to camp.
Thank God ! Snowbird Season is over and all those trailers and RV’s have migrated back up North. I agree with @thehag , when I camped, I was tent camper.Saw a lot more of the country, unencumbered by dragging a trailer. Although, I must confess, many times, I did have a horse trailer with a couple of horses in tow. If God wanted me to hike, he wouldn’t have invented the horse.

You can’t get away from it all if you’re dragging it all behind you.

Hey, my wife wanted all that in our RV but I told her, “no way! We’re camping!” So we got one with no Air Conditioner. :)
