Oh the horror that I should have to put on a poncho and dash out in the rain to turn on a tank valve. I guess we've pretty well forgotten about what it was like when all we had was a tent and sleeping bags.
That is probably not a big deal to those who are young and energetic, but as you age, you just don't want to deal with that sort of thing...or just can't. Tent camping is fine for the younger crowd, but as we age, if we travel by RV, it's not camping...I see it as taking your own little hotel/cabin with you! So, why suffer the inconveniences if you don't have to?
There are those who love to "rough it" and there are those who don't. I always loved to tent camp in my younger days, but to my sister, in her words, "the closest thing to camping is a Holiday Inn!"
So, many who own RVs may just be in that second group...those who do NOT want to rough it! Even for me, personally, I just can't tolerate the riggers of tent camping and my DH can't stand to set up another tent! So, we have arrived at the stage and age where we have to be "lazy" in order to "camp." :)
Especially if we decided to fulltime...it would mean even more to have convenience on a daily basis. Heck, I would love to have a dishwasher in the camper on a fulltime basis! :B And that may just happen! Remove the stove and insert W/D!
