Interesting comment. We consider our FW luxurious and love the many conveniences for boondocking. We bathe frequently, eat well, read in comfort in a recliner.

That's why I said most nights.
While do occasionally boondock, it's not most nights but where it makes sense. I'm not out to prove how tough I am.
There is definitely a faction (and has been for decades) that berates you for not going without to prove how good you are at camping.
If it makes them happy, more power to them but we are going to enjoy travels in comfort.
