Heck, I don't even have a microwave...lol I consider the fridge a luxury. No oven either, just a 2 burner cooktop. I would not have a wet bath if it weren't for my wife. I can do my business in the woods..
Give me a roll of TP and I'm a happy camper.
We usually cook on an open fire anyway. My wife can make some fantastic dutch oven meals.
SOP for us is set the truck and camper in a fairly level spot (I tend to set up in the same spot all the time), I even keep a supply of split dried wood piled there, get the TC level (I take off the tie down's and level the camper with the jacks), deploy the TL Glow steps (best thing I ever got, next to my wife), put out the awning and set up a fire ring, get out the lawn chairs and get a cold beverage and kick back and enjoy the quiet. Usually when we go, it entails some work. I have blinds to maintain, signage to check, trees to cut or move and trails to keep clear. Under the canopy of the forest, it's always cool. Even if it's hot in the sun, always at least 15 degrees cooler in the trees. I usually trailer my quad along, makes chores easier up there.
Not sure I could ever stay in a campground, I would if I had to I guess but my preference is camping alone. My wife and I aren't all that fond of other people and neither of us likes crowds.
If I wasn't older, I'd still camp in a tent with a sleeping bag and everything on my back, just like I did for years when I was an Eagle Scout. Age has taken it's toll on that but I (we) still don't want to have a luxury experience. We can make do just fine with just the necessities. I consider it luxury to have a hot shower available and a bug free space to sleep in. Our sole electronic entertainment is a CCrane radio with weather band and am/fm. Cell phone stays in the glove box in the truck along with the SAT phone....and yes, I'm always armed. One never know what might happen in the boonies.
Now all of you know 'the rest of the story'....
