For the past 25 years, I have been going on a 'camping' trip with my Dad one weekend a year sometime in June. We mostly fish (but sometimes golf if the lake is rough) and from the beginning we slept in tents and cooked over the campfire. We had the whole 'camping experience' but our main objective was the fishing. Dad is in his 80's now so a couple of years ago I decided it would be easier if we used my trailer. Now the 'camping' activities are much easier and we have more time for fishing instead of putting up tarps, boiling water for dishes, etc, etc. We still tell stories around the campfire and take in the wonderful setting, getting away from the city, etc.
I don't think we went from camping to Rving, it's just that we have changed our accommodations to allow Dad to still enjoy his favorite pastimes of fishing and bird watching. Same location, same time, just a trailer instead of camping gear. Call it RVing if you want; I'm just thankful I have a way to still enjoy this annual outing as long as Dad is able to go.
