I do have it all, I'm happy, I'm just pointing out some issues I never thought of. Sitting in a campground with people that park a trailer here for ten years , no maintenance and just build on and build on and eventually have a house isn't camping. I don't know what that is, but its not camping. I have two small children, we like to fish, swim , roast mashmelloes, etc. when I take the kids camping and can't do any of those things because some old sob wants to live in filth seems silly. I will indeed stay away from private parks moving forward. I don't want to get away per se. But most of these private parks have limitations on the year of your camper and / or looks of your camper, unless you pay your 500 a month. Most of you are right , it's just like a hotel experience, just much more disgusting and nasty. I camp, they live. I like going back to my six figure job and home, camping is a way to get away with the kids, not sleep next to some ragging drunk who built a deck three times next to his trailer because he wanted to live the "camping life", now I know how to fix the problem, I will :)
GREAT!! I think you have it figured out. If you want to get away from it all with your kids DON'T go to private rv parks. Go to state parks, forest service cgs, etc. The kids will love the lakes, the forests, the hikes...and you won't find that at most private RV parks. We spent all our younger years in those parks with our kids and I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world. Now in our late 70's we go to the private parks because I want my AC, my electricity, my sewer. But when I was younger, no way.
As for RV quality...they are RV's, not your solid stick and bricks house. They have to be babied and taken care of. Just the way they are. But they sure beat those tents we used for years.
