We used to be those back packer/tent campers who swore we'd never succumb to the need to have an RV? We loved hiking miles into the backwoods to find the perfect spot to eat our dehydrated food. Well life does change. I love the freedom to throw some food in the rig and get the heck out of the city anytime without much work. I love taking my bed , toilet and fridge with me when we visit family, go to the boat ramp or off to the coast. It's getting harder for us to go tent camping up here in the Pacific Northwest. Poor weather, you need reservations everywhere, so many people everywhere ( I'm to old to sleep on the ground):D. With our TC at least if we are right next to someone I feel I have a little privacy. I seem to remember camping spots were further away from each other, or were people more polite?
