Who travels in their RV with binoculars? Share what you carry for taking in the views when camping. Prior to my winter trip I picked up a Carson 3D compact binocular and have really enjoyed it.

I have a much larger one my father gave me more for stargazing. This one is something much easier to carry around.

We carry a 40-year-old pair of 8X30 compact binoculars (don't remember the brand off hand) and a pair of 10X50s (Tasco IIRC) with built-in compass.

Carry Vortex Diamondback 10x50 bought specifically for RV.
 
What are you guys looking at?
 
I Cary my 35 years old Stainer Commander with built in compass from my sailing days. It is too big, but reminds me of the Glory Days?

You never know when you may want them. Something going on in the distance. When I was at Angel Fire there was a strange object in the sky @ARD and I saw. I pulled out the binocs and we realized it was a high altitude balloon. Very cool. You may be looking at wildlife in Yellowstone but I've learned from @ARD that many use spotting scopes for that. I just like having a nice but compact pair of binocs available should I be curious about something in the distance. It was also useful at the Oshkosh Airshow where we were suggested to bring some and I think that's what made me buy mine.
 
Hmmmm! I do have a pair. Used to take when hiking sometimes. I will have to bring it along next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
One never knows what we might see!;)
Have an older pair of Bushnell's 10x50.
Works great for watching wildlife, etc.
 
Zeiss Terra 8x32. They're compact and crystal clear.
Kahles 8x42 for hunting.
