Re: Help us get back into camping with our new reality!.
New question-- as we are looking at trailers alot of them are the bunkhouse modles, that seems to be the most popular. Has anyone modified it so that they can either take out or fold up the top bunk to make it more comfortable for and adult but can still use it if younger people are with you. Is this even a good idea or bad one? Thanks708Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help us get back into camping with our new reality!.
Thanks you guys are great! We have not been blessed with children so we tend to spoil the nieces and nephew alot. Also fyi the sister that would be traveling with us does not have any children either. One of the nieces(actually a great niece) parents take a trailer camping when they can go but she like to go with us if they can't go. The others do camp with thier parents in a tent but as both parents have to work so weekends it does not happen alot. I did not include in the times when the kiddos are camping with thier parents. I am retired so I can take them out alot more. So what are your feelings for pulling and setting up a fifth wheel verses a more traditional camper(although the girls are great for doing the bending that is hard for me).708Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help us get back into camping with our new reality!.
thanks for the ideas! I don't know why some of them had not come to mind before. As a Kid we loved camping in the tent rather than the pop up. The way of hauling people was also great, I just get my mind going on direction and you have done a good job of refocusing things. Thank you I have always said campers are the greatest people. I will throw out one clarification and that is that my mother is confined to a memory care unit so she will not be going with us, just making so dad can still enjoy his retirement.708Views0likes0CommentsHelp us get back into camping with our new reality!.
thanks for your help we are wanting to get back into camping but our reality has changed. We always camped in popups and now that is not an option. Here is our camping family. Myself 52 with left side weakness due to stroke, and back injury limiting how much bending I can do. My partner 50 in good health. this will be 50 percent of the time. the other 50 percent will make up of, my sister 54 in good health single and not wanting to camp alone, my 80 year old Father wanting to camp again after my mothers alzimers diagnosis and giving on them being able to travel. 24 percent of the time we will have from 1-4 children with us ages-6-10(nieces, great nieces and friends). My oldest niece does camp with her husband but does not get out as much as she would like. We need to start from scratch and know we can not afford brand new. So I am looking for ideas on Tow Vehicles which must haul us and our family around and a good match for a camper as well. All advice is wanted and needed. Right now we think we can spend up to about 20k for both. We have a 2000 buick centry and town and country van with about 160000 miles on both so we will be trading or selling a car also which will bring not much. thanks so much for you help and let us get camping again up3.8KViews0likes15Comments
