What's the experience that makes you appreciate having your RV?

we had a different kind of experience with staying in Palo Duro canyon one year. Some teens (scouts?) were pitching tents nearby. We ate a lovely supper at our dinng table, watching them struggle to set up tents and get fires going (fortunately the wind was going away from us).
Well, a fairly strong storm blew into the canyon during the night - we drifted off to sleep in our cosy bed while listening to the pouring rain.
We woke up to a clean, gorgeous blue-sky day and hustled up a scrumptious breakfast while planning the day's activity. When we sat down to enjoy eggs, ham, coffee, toast...we looked out the window and remembered the scout?troop.
What a mess! They were spreading stuff out to dry, and re-propping up their tents, had a fire going again to cook breakfast.. I guess they were staying.
Bob is a former Scout himself, but is glad to enjoy glamping in weather like this.

Reading fiction while away from home, often with nature all around while the fire invites a BBQ; then retiring to a comfy memory foam mattress and awaking to do it again are enough for me to try and "get away" one weekend per month.

Just love the idea of being at home where ever I want to go.

Exactly! Judy D

Grew up camping in tents then later a pop up.

Always enjoyed being in campgrounds and the overall lifestyle.

Of course no way we are going back to a tent now but just the overall of having home wherever we park it, being around others that enjoy the same things, and the overall pace of the life is wonderful.

Now that we retired as of 1/1 it is even more enjoyable.

I keep my class A plugged in at the house year round. About every other weekend you'll find me just hanging out in it. Watching TV, using the table for a jigsaw, little maintenance things. I just like being in it in general to start with. Actually going somewhere in it is just one of the things I like best these days. Using it, driving it, anything, I just like it.
Wife wasn't totally onboard at the start but now she's gotten spoiled a bit and when we go somewhere by car she sometimes misses not having her own personal bathroom and backup wardrobe in the back.

Maybe at some point I will get tired of this version of camping where you go somewhere and take your whole vacation home with you but so far it tickles me no end.

same here. I really wish we could park the RV at our house cause we could use it as an extra little getaway.

I'm telling ya, it's the fort gene.

agree - built 'em when I was a kid, ...love having a 'fort' to escape with in various emergencies too - natural disaster, home remodeling, etc.

My rv doubles as my dog house. It sure beats that old riggety one I had to cobble together years ago.

Not having to carry our luggage in and out of hotels every few days when we are doing a major road trip to site see with the family, and getting to be in close proximity of the kiddos for those great humorous conversations they love striking up.
