Desert Captain....Yes I did read your post and I didn't attack you or your RV, even though you found it necessary to attack mine. I said I disagreed with your assumptions. And yes, you're type of camping is in the minority and that's why you're post is so different than the rest. I had a truck camper for 8 years and a Class C for 14. I know what campgrounds look like, how they work and what is often needed when you get there. I've also seen a lot of people, with rigs just like yours, pulling up stakes and trying to drive them around a National Park. It's a pain! I didn't just start camping yesterday.

You're idea of camping and using the RV as a daily sightseer is not the norm, yet you want to tell us how well it works....If it worked so well, everyone would be doing it.

Don, if you consider my calling your rig "Big and beautiful" an attack I can't help you. Assuming your signature pic has not been photoshopped I stand by that assessment. Where did I say you must be new to camping or lacked experience? :h
Not many folks start out with a coach like yours. For the record my coach is only 2' longer than your "Toad" and will probably fit just fine anywhere you park.

I wanted to point out how well our use works for us and dispel some of the myths about going toadless because the OP asked me to. :S Our RV usage, that you are in denial (not just a river in Egypt), about sounds like what the OP is planning which makes my input relevant.

Most of the national parks discourage folks from driving around them as it only exacerbates the crowded roads and pollution. National Park gridlock, especially in high season is all too common. This is why so many of them provide and encourage folks to use their shuttle services. If you want to talk about a "minority" start counting the number of sites that will accommodate a 60'+ rig.... especially in the National and State parks.

and as always.... Opinions and YMMV.
