I wanted to provide an update. Since 12 months ago, I have been to a few RV shows, rented a 27-foot C, been to a few campgrounds. 2 weeks ago also spent a day at Hershey RV show. Wife likes camping too, although she would like to mix-and-match, RV, camping, hotels, cousins.
17-year old DD is going to college next year. She likes it, but has become a PIA about scheduling things. Has cut a couple of trips short because she had to go back to her friends!! She has promised not to repeat it. When she's around, she is a great help, with set up, navigation, fetching things. This weekend she is taking her boyfriend with us camping, and gave him hell why he will cut his trip short.
Daughter 2 (almost 9 years old) loves RVing to no end. Bunk bed was an instant hit. This kid wanted to stay at the RV show, rather than go next door to Hershey Park. She even knows the RV types. She says when she becomes famous, she will pay me $ 100 to drive her around in a $ 500k Class A.
I took a quick trip (17 days) by myself in August, from NYC to WY, Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Colorado, while wife and kids went to in-laws for the upteenth time. Did about 7000 miles, mainly camping 2 nights at a time. Loved, loved it. Had plenty of adventure and exercise, even lost a few pounds.
Made friends too. I found that being many hours alone driving made me more social when I stopped for fuel, food.
