"Your misuse of the word "camping" is grin-able."

Seems to me there is a new word commonly used to describe what the Johnny and his ilk do.
Believe it's called glaming or something like it. To call what he does
'camping' is an insult to real campers everywhere.



Well, the modern definition is loose enough to cover RV'ing, but
traditional campers must laugh at the sight of all those air-conditioned
portable plastic and aluminum motel rooms on wheels.




Maybe. . . At least until it rains.



Based on the camping people I've known over the years many of those who
enjoy "traditional" camping end up trading in their tents for a pop-up,
then a Travel Trailer or a Class C RV and then to a fifth wheel trailer
or Class A RV. . sorta like having two foot-itist in boating.

Yup, we spent half a dozen years camping with motorcycles, tents and bags. Skipped
the pop-up for a little 19' TT, then moved up to the fifth-wheel.

Watching Krause and Donne' put it down is funny. A touch of jealousy coming through?

What are you blathering about Johnny? I'd love to get a pop-up or one of those fiberglass 'A Frames' for camping. Wife insists on something with a big washroom so we're at an impasse right now.

Wait a minute. Here you're putting down those who camp with an RV, and now you're saying you'd love a pop-up or A-frame. A bit two-faced there, no?

What would you tow with? The Highlander? What's the towing capacity? There are some very nice pop-ups that you could probably tow. The secret to the big washroom would be to camp close to the bathhouse. Easy. I'd never consider an A-frame. Cute but impractical as hell.

Be careful, you'd not want Harry to see you wanting an RV.
