switching from tent camping to 5th wheel

X2 on the comments above. We, too, made the shift over the years from tent to PUP to TT, and finally to a fifth. Rented a Class A MH one time in the middle of this, so I guess that means we've experienced pretty much the whole range. Each of these stages has advantages and disadvantages, and were the right decisions for us considering what we were wanting to do at each stage. Each of these stages features trade-offs, but for us, the benefits of our FW at age 60+ with grandkids and extended trips, far outweigh what we gave up when we moved out of tenting. We still wake up to the smell of pines, although it's much more difficult, and frequently impossible to get into those really rustic, 'hidden away' campsites. On the other hand, it's great to wake up after a good night's sleep in our own king bed, and not have to concern ourselves with those days when the rain is falling and the weather is nasty.

As we tell our kids when they rib us about 'glamping' instead of 'camping', at this point in our lives when we're living in the rig over 6 months of the year, we're really all about taking our home with us wherever we go.
