Darla, can you tell us what kind of camping you want to do. Are you planning on not using camp grounds at all? Just don't understand why your spending so much money where it doesn't look like a camper. But steps going up to the door lights coming out around the curtains, really does make it look like a camper. And I for one don't want someone knocking on my door at 2AM telling me this is a no parking zone, or worse yet, having someone hook up to my TV and start towing my rig away. I have read your post and just don't understand why your doing what your doing?
Dennis, I'm hoping to avoid campgrounds as much as I can. I bought a number of campground memberships years back and found that once you start that circuit you travel tethered to them. This time around I am hoping for an RV experience where I can travel anywhere without having to schedule campground stops. I'm not up for the 2am knock either, but I traveled all over the west coast for 3 years and did dozens of stay-overs in all sorts of places and didn't really get hassled by anyone. The key is to always asking permission. And as long as you don't drag out the carpet and lawn chairs most won't challenge you. I once parked in a California police departments parking lot for a night and they said fine. With an electric awning, 2 windows, a roof mounted ac, and propane tanks it's gonna be hard to pretend the vehicle is anything but an RV. I'm not really going for "stealth", just an appearance that doesn't invite unwanted attention. Thanks for the feedback. -Darla
