Difference between RVing and Camping???
I was reading responses to another post and one person stated that, "We RV we don't camp?" I didn't want to take the post off topic, so I did a quick search, but did not find it. What is the differe...

I think the definition is just a matter of opinion.
Back when we camped, took the Chevy Blazer off-road into the forest, set up a tent, built a fire pit, dug a hole for the potty, heated water to wash dishes with and take baths and slept on an air mattress on the ground...that was camping.
I don't even consider staying at commercial or national or state campground camping...it's RVing in my book.
I think full timers are both or maybe just travelers.
When we or anyone pulls into an RV park/campground, hit the button to set the jacks, turn on the TV and flop on the couch while supper is cooking in the microwave as the AC is running to keep us cool...can that be called "camping"?!
But it really doesn't matter what any of us call it. Most of us that did it the old fashioned way would not care to sleep on the ground again, haul in firewood so we could cook, and use a hole for a toilet anymore. Some people never did it the other way and wouldn't even consider it.
But, it's all good...whatever we call it, however we do it, whenever or whereever...just enjoy and don't worry about it!
