Sometimes a RV just is not the way to "go"

You can be sure that an RV is not the place to prepare for a colonoscopy,tremendous water usage and much throne time,no room for anyone else.You want a hotel room very close to hospital for a very anxious trip to exam site.Don't drive yourself.I have had eight over the years for recurring polyps etc.I know what |I am saying.You certainly can't drive after for a good while till the drugs and forget me not solution clears.Sometimes a day before your mind completely clears.At times you can't quite get to the bathroom in time so messes aren't abnormal.Do not do it in RV.

Colonoscopy "prep" takes more than one day, and it also requires LOTS of water for the bathroom and clean up! No fun at all, and a shear disaster if you don't have water!

We've been fortunate to have never been sick when traveling. Nothing could be worse than to have a stomach flue or something like that going on when on vacation, let alone in an RV of any kind, especially if you have to drive to get anywhere and you're already miserable.

I saw a YouTube video some time ago about the absolute worst RV experience ever. It was a video of a family and one of the kids got sick and barfed, and barfed, and barfed! Everything was a mess! Not to mention the smell they couldn't escape from! Blankets, sheets, floor, walls, you name it! Their vacation was completely in shambles.... what can one do in a situation like that.

I think the OP's friends made the right choice by going somewhere else ... anywhere else to have access to water.

For us, the only time camping was "not the way to go" was when we were happily camping and received word of a death in the family. That definitely put a real crimp in things, and made us wish we'd not gone on that trip at all.

How would the RV be bigger if they had a water hookup? :@

I agree.

And in your friends case, they should have called the campground they planned on staying at ahead of time. Or never planned on taking the RV in the first place if the "RV is just not big enough." unless that was their only mode of transportation.

Is that cg the ONLY one in the area? Easy moving place to place is what RVs do........

g'luck for your friend, anyway....
