I really miss camping but don't know if I can do it alone

I lost my husband last year to brain cancer.We had a 2010 Carriage Cameo that was to be our last rv as we looked long and hard for it and it was the "perfect one" for us. Unfortunately we were only able to use it a little over a year and a half. I wanted to sell it and buy a small class C that I could handle but he would not even discuss it. If he couldn't have the Carriage he wanted nothing. I was lucky to be able to sell the rv and truck to the same person who planned to full time in it. I miss camping but due to spinal fusion and double knee replacement that didn't do well i'm not sure if I'm physically able to handle the set up. My late hubby said that due to my bad back he didn't think I could handle the heavy power cord or even the sewer hookup. Anyone have any ideas to how I could get back into camping??
  • I would try a Class B for a rental and see how that works out for you. When I was driving school bus we had a woman who had a similar experience with a new 5th. wheel & truck. After her husband died she bought a 33'Class A to continue travelling alone at age 73. I have had the spinal fusion also and use a walker to hook up the sewer and water/electric. It works and I still enjoy getting out. I .appreciate having large tanks so I don't have to dump very often
  • Rent a Class C and give it a try, the only way you will know.

    Good Luck
