No more camping for us

We traded our rig for a 2014 4x4 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. So we won't be in any CG's any more. C-YA

    Not sure why you say C-YA unless you are ticked off at camping or something. My first RV was two different Ford Pick Ups and then a Jeep Wrangler took out the rear seat and loaded it to the hard top and went camping and not just local but long runs. Used a few KOA Kamping Cabins and such and do miss those times.

  • If you get the camping bug again, the Jeep will tow a TT. Happy trails.
  • I agree, if you don't use it, get rid of it. If you get nostalgic for it, you can always rent one.
  • You can still use campgrounds--with a tent. Any kind of camping is better than no camping at all. IMHO. :D
  • Havent used truck for a year? Kinda wierd because my truck drives just fine without a camper attatched.
  • It's been just over a year since we have had our Scamp out camping. Still planning on finally getting on the road, Tuesday.

    Things just kept coming up & it hasn't been used.

    I'm going to see if we can't find time to use it more this fall for sure. Maybe this winter as well. But I said that last year as well. Ha!

    But our rig isn't such a large investment as yours was. It is also all paid for. The tags are permanent on the TT & it is still not to costly to own a vehicle out here (tags & insurance).

    If you start wanting to see a campground again. Tents are pretty neat these days. And there is always Camping Cabins.

    We stayed in our first camping cabin in Alaska this summer:

    It was about 100 yrs. old. Woodcutter Log Cabin was built elsewhere & moved to the RV park a few years ago. New interior. Bed a little hard, no water but had electric. It came with bedding & towels. Like a hotel room. But one had to walk to a restroom/shower house.

    They had newer ones & large ones, some with showers, etc. We just needed an overnight spot. Worked OK.

    Another option (which I often use) is to live vicariously through others' Blogs. http://www.hitchitch.com/links.html

    Take care & Happy Jeeping.

    :B That new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 should make a very fine tow vehicle for a small bumper pull trailer.
  • smart move seems a shame to see rv's sit and rot away not being used. I think anyone is better off having toys that they enjoy than to let them sit.
