As I've said many times on these forums, my camper is my vacation spot, my personal resort, and we have it stocked with the best we can get and afford now. end quote
This is one of the best comments I have read on this site, completely dead on. I have a friend we camp with in his mid-50's that sleeps in a small, two man pup tent, never forgetting to tell us how he is really camping. Our camping is just about our only vacations and I want to be comfortable and enjoy myself. When we are out for a two week stretch and it rains for 10 days, I want to be able to relax, play some cards, and not have to worry so much about staying dry.
We did the tent thing for years (got to have some cash for a camper!) when our family was young, moving up to a pop-up, to a bigger pop-up (family kept getting bigger!), to a hybrid (which we loved) to a 23 foot hard side (couldn't pass up a great deal). We have loved every aspect of camping, but it is nice to be in my early 50's and have a bed off the ground that I don't have to climb over my wife to get out of bed.
We still use the paper plates (less dishes), but others use every day plates and silver ware.
To each his own!
