TC with family of four?

I guess it depends on what you really want to do. If your idea of camping is going to a nicely manicured private site, or a nicely manicured national, state or provincial park and parking 10 feet away from the next group who is also trying to "get away from it all" than a TT is definitely for you. If you however are someone who would rather be off the beaten trail in a campsite all by yourself or with your small group of other like minded TCers, where you are right beside a mirror like lake, on the edge of a beautiful river, of at a stretch of beach where you there is no one else around, then TC is the way to go. My 2 kids grew up in a TC and it never occurred to them that there was anything wrong with it. They're kids and they adapt very quickly. In B.C. there are lots of park like setting for the TT crowd and I am very thankful we have those areas for those groups. Otherwise I would have even more competition for the more beautiful places in the province that only those with TC's can go. No offense meant, its just a different mind set. Some are happy going wit h the crowds and some are more willing to be off the pavement, spend very little time insides regardless of the weather, and are satisfied with a warm dry place to sleep that holds all of their stuff, sleeps 4, allows the ladies a private place to pee and keeps the beer and pop cold and the food hot.

I agree that a TC can take you to some remote areas but you can also go with a TT. In over 30 years camping we have never stayed anywhere that has a cement pad, or a place where we were overly close. We take logging roads and find a remote spot, we have occasionally travelled a logging road for 6hrs or more to find the right spot. We have stayed places where you are 8to 10 hrs from the nearest store, gas station etc. Where, if you want to talk to someone else you need a good satellite phone, LOL! We take water, gas for the boat, everything we need for a couple of weeks. We even had a couple follow us one time with their 32' pontoon boat, they live on it in the summer. We had to wait for the lake to receed one time on a logging road. It was up from flooding and the road hidden under 4' of water. We could not turn around and we're there for 3 days, camped on the logging road. LOL

I agree there are easier ways but I don't want the impression given that you can't remote camp with a TT or a fifth wheel or MH.
