However, going from a tent straight to a large TT, you may find the change too big and you don't enjoy it anymore. You will find that you are much more closed off from the outdoors and you lose that "camping" feel.
Well, pretty much after our last 5 day-er in a tent we were done. It took a day to prep and load. Four hours to set up at the campsite. (...yeah I go overboard with the amount of everything we bring). Three hours to break down. A day to unpack, put away and clean.
I am guessing 16 hours of labor total?
That last trip made me done. We only went once this whole summer. In the end, the work load became more unbearable then the camping enjoyment. No way we could do that for a weekender.
The scales of work input vs. pleasure output tipped on the side of "No more".
Told the DW, it's either a TT or I am done for good with campgrounds.
...and neither of us wanted that. :)
