Good stories here, thanks for the read.
Wife and I did the tent thing too, motorcycle and a tent. You get real good at packing that way.
Decided to upgrade so we built a Tear Drop camper in our carport. Took a couple of months and had it setup with hutch kitchen and even cable tv. Then, first trip, find out the Wife is a bit claustrophobic. Also discovered you cannot be anti-social in that thing. Woke up one morning to some guy sitting out side waiting on us to get up so he can ask about the camper. Told him he better have coffee.
