I've stayed away from this because it seems I have hurt some people's feelings. That was not my intention. My question likely could have been worded better.

The queen size bed that doesn't have to be folded into a couch each morning is nice. My 60 year old back would complain too much if I slept on the ground. I guess what I should have asked was does anyone take their RV's into areas without running water and electricity? It seems there are a lot of questions about RV parks in different areas on this and other forums. Seeing the constant stream of RV's pulling into the park where I repaired the broken wire got me thinking (dangerous I know) that lead to the question.
One of the things that I think makes a camping trip a success is no cell phone signal. If I were camping alone I wouldn't take a generator, but since I'm fond of my wife, and she is fond of her hair dryer, I load the generator so she can dry her hair after climbing out of the oversized shower.
