Re: Not For The Faint of Heart
"Calling ahead to reserve a site (tent camping) we had a very limited selection to choose from, but the host assured us there was enough space within a secluded area of the campground." Key word: Secluded. I would generally expect this to mean "far away from bathroom". You were obviously unhappy with your stay, but from your post it's difficult to see how it's the campgrounds fault. Hills? Squirrels? I checked out their site and it doesn't identify the terrain. Perhaps they should. But if it were my bad back and medical needs, I'd be sure to inquire when booking a site. And if it were up to me (it isn't) we'd be a tent camping family. I love my Kiwi, but roughing it in a tent is real camping.496Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sleeping on a J-Steel Sofa
I don't think the issue of being "trapped" is any more (or any less) than sleeping in the fold out bunk. Nature of the beast. The width of the couch (at least mine, which is a 2002) requires that the 2 people be fairly intimate or otherwise familiar. In other words, we only sleep one person there, although the lengthwise crack from the fold would be a good dividing line when sleeping 2. I don't think you could sleep the "other" way, unless we're talking kids.769Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sleeping on a J-Steel Sofa

I've read the quote three times now and I STILL can't figure out how this addresses the couch crack issue...769Views0likes0CommentsRe: For the guy .......
Whoever is telling the OP to "chill out" seemed to have missed the point. Or maybe it's me who doesn't get it? This was an internet chill pill. A means to discuss something that is frustrating because we KNOW there is nothing we can do about it. The people who lean on the horns or tailgate when this happens are the ones who need to chill. Discussing it later on with a forum of your peers shows good form, IMHO. And for the record: my handle is in reference to my pre-football parties, not my driving habits.174Views0likes0CommentsRe: Leave the kids home!!!
Anyone who has camped has had to deal with less than ideal neighbors. The difference maker is how the offending neighbors react. Consider the crying baby. If mom and pop do nothing, the sound is unbearable. If they make obvious attempts to satiate the kid (drives in the car, constant cuddling, soft singing, etc) then the crying usually seems less offensive.477Views0likes0Comments
