Truer words were never spoken. DW and I took our RV's (TT & 5W) to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park (Apalachicola area) for 11- 12 years. Well, last year, we found ourselves with no RV, but wanting to visit: we rented a house PSJ and drove into the park. Strangely enough, the sand was still white, we still enjoyed the waves crashing on the beach, and even saw deer in the early a.m.
I would say use your RV in whatever way is enjoyable to you. It's your RV and your choice.
For those that say one is not camping unless boondocking, I would suggest that the definition of "Camping" varies: in my view, if you want to camp, let me know and we'll pile into the PA12, no more than 45#'s of gear each, BTW, and fly over to Lake Clark, King Salmon, Purkeypile, Farewell, or the Fortymile area for a week of hiking and fishing: Camping to me means there has to be a tent and backpack involved. Otherwise it's "Car camping" or "RV'ng" even without hookups!
