Friends of ours have one of those, but that is their home. They don't

By there own confession, the people that I'm talking about bought
theirs to "go camping"

Yes, some people get them under the impression that they are
'camping'. That doesn't mean that you need to condemn all of RVing
because the people across the street from you have more money than
sense.

Bob would not want to do that, and I wouldn't either, but some of the
stuff that RVers have is quite useful for boaters and cheaper too
because it doesn't have a marine label on it. One of the ways that a
boat is better than an RV is that when you are anchored temporarily
somewhere, the scenery is usually better (and it is more peaceful)
than the WallyWorld parking lot. And we are usually farther apart too
- I couldn't stand to live less than 5 feet from my neighbors like in
some of those parks.


We live on our boat full time for sometimes six months. We aren't
camping. We are living in various harbors and marinas without having
to fly there and pack and unpack. So we aren't 'getting away from
stuff'. And we like to watch TV.

Fine! God bless you for it.

I don't have any expectations for you.

Thank you, and neither do I for you.

You can obviously do what you
want. And in return, I expect you to allow us to use our boat in the
way that suits us without looking down your nose at us and implying
that your way is the only REAL way to enjoy a boat..

Did i say i was going to stop you?

No, and you couldn't if you wanted to. You just implied that having a
TV on the boat was the same as your neighbors with the big RV. They
are not *really* camping because they have a big RV and obviously
camping has to be done with a tent and sleeping bags. And real
boaters don't need TVs because the boat by itself is enough.
