Nonsense.
Folks now days are just plain wimps..
in the late 1960s, my parents packed us SIX kids and themselves into a STATION WAGON for THREE WEEKS at a time armed with nothing but a tent..
Early 1970s Dad bought a F100 with a CAP on the back, made several long bench seats and a table to make into beds for the nights (use kids rode in the back in of the truck in the cap..
Yep, WE SURVIVED.
Mid 70s Dad found a used 1960s slide in truck camper and yep, WE ALL survived! Use kids rode in the TC also..
Us kids HAD to learn to DEAL WITH EACH OTHER..
Now days we spoil the kids, give them huge amounts of space and their own bunks.. Its no wonder todays kids are so spoiled and have issues getting along with others..
The main idea is CAMPING, not "GLAMPING".
There is no need to double mortgage your house just to camp, buy what you can comfortably tow with what you have and what you can afford (IE DISPOSABLE INCOME) and have some fun adventuring around..
Some of my favorite moments and memories ARE from those days in that small little slide in camper.. We spent the days OUTDOORS and if it rained we had games and books to keep us entertained..
