Making the jump from tent camping to RVing
I'm a lifelong tent camper, but my partner and I are interested in switching to an RV for added convenience and comfort during our trips. I'd be happy to get some feedback on traveling in a small trav...

Tent camped for 10 years.
Loved every minute of it.
Had a one month trip where it rained almost every day.
Decided to look into a pop-up.
Found a no frills lightweight inexpensive one.
What a difference especially in bad weather.
Dry, warm, comfortable place to sleep and eat and read.
Large open feeling.
Easy to setup and take down (we were able to set up in les than 10 minutes).
Easy to tow.
Easy to manually push around the campsite.
Only problem was if it rains I couldn't stay awake.
The sound of the rain on the canvas was hypnotic.
Used the pop-up for > 6 weeks every year for 30 years.
Loved every minute of it.
Was window shopping and saw a B+ that I thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread and got a big discount. Just a few years from retirement and have been lusting after Class B's for years, pulled the trigger.
Got a 22 foot Class C (B+) and it is terrific.
Nice to have no set-up, tear down time.
Nice to have bathroom/shower available
Nice to have a refrigerator and air-conditioning with built in generator.
Nice to have everything with you at all times.
Almost always use the campground showers and bathrooms.
So for convenience, we love the Class C but still miss the pop-up.
If you rally like tent camping, try a pop-up to start with.
