Are you talking about a tent, or a popup tent camper?

See my other response. Perhaps this location and our activities are
unusual. The power is convenient for a coffee pot and microwave which
allow more time on the river. We use a tent.

Oh, so maybe what I said wasn't 'BS'? If you are staying in a place where the tenters are on sites
with electricity and water, then it would be unusual as hell from what I've seen. We've been doing a
lot of camping, with motorcycles/tents and RV's over the past 20+ years, and I've not seen much of
that.

While at Bryce Canyon National Park we stayed at a very nice campground outside the part, It had a
tent area and RV sites. On one of the RV sites was a Moto Guzzi, with a guy and a girl at the picnic
table. They paid the extra bucks for the water and electricity, but they were the only ones we saw
doing that. They didn't have anything that took 110 volts, but they liked having the water right
there.

Let's see, by tent camping, I have a wider choice of beautiful places to
camp, I use a LOT less fuel, I can park just about anywhere, I have a
lot less hassle traveling, can take my boat, don't have insurance of my
tent, can pick up and go in less than a half an hour, and on and on.
Yep, tents are horrible!

Tents are great!

I can't imagine hiking into a beautiful place with a boat. That's got to be difficult!

Where did you get that idea? Are you really as stupid as you act here?


And, if
you're not carrying insurance on whatever gets you to the hiking area, you should reconsider. And,
actually, if while you were camping your tent and everything you owned burnt to the ground, I'll bet
your homeowner's insurance, if you have same, would cover it, at least past the deductible.

I should carry insurance on my tent?? THAT is what I said. It get really
frustrating trying to get you to understand the simplest of things. You
are really stupid.

I cannot understand how you think you have a lot less hassle traveling. Have you ever owned an RV of
any type? If not, then you've no idea of what is or isn't involved.

Yes, I have.

Assumptions again?

No, see above.

You should read your homeowner's policy. I'll bet it *does* cover your tent and all your other
camping equipment.

Does your homeowner's policy cover your travel trailer?? NOW maybe,
possibly, you'll get the point, but somehow I doubt it.

My homeowner's insurance covers my tent, and all my camping gear. You should read your policy.

Let it go John. Loogie prefers primitive camping, where as, you and I

insurance to go camping.

lot of camping, with motorcycles/tents and RV's over the past 20+ years, and I've not seen much of
that.

While at Bryce Canyon National Park we stayed at a very nice campground outside the part, It had a
tent area and RV sites. On one of the RV sites was a Moto Guzzi, with a guy and a girl at the picnic
table. They paid the extra bucks for the water and electricity, but they were the only ones we saw
doing that. They didn't have anything that took 110 volts, but they liked having the water right
there.

Let's see, by tent camping, I have a wider choice of beautiful places to
camp, I use a LOT less fuel, I can park just about anywhere, I have a
lot less hassle traveling, can take my boat, don't have insurance of my
tent, can pick up and go in less than a half an hour, and on and on.
Yep, tents are horrible!

Tents are great!

I can't imagine hiking into a beautiful place with a boat. That's got to be difficult!

Where did you get that idea? Are you really as stupid as you act here?


And, if
you're not carrying insurance on whatever gets you to the hiking area, you should reconsider. And,
actually, if while you were camping your tent and everything you owned burnt to the ground, I'll bet
your homeowner's insurance, if you have same, would cover it, at least past the deductible.

I should carry insurance on my tent?? THAT is what I said. It get really
frustrating trying to get you to understand the simplest of things. You
are really stupid.

I cannot understand how you think you have a lot less hassle traveling. Have you ever owned an RV of
any type? If not, then you've no idea of what is or isn't involved.

Yes, I have.

Assumptions again?

No, see above.

You should read your homeowner's policy. I'll bet it *does* cover your tent and all your other
camping equipment.

Does your homeowner's policy cover your travel trailer?? NOW maybe,
possibly, you'll get the point, but somehow I doubt it.

My homeowner's insurance covers my tent, and all my camping gear. You should read your policy.

Let it go John. Loogie prefers primitive camping, where as, you and I
prefer something a little more civilized. Nothing wrong with that. To
each his own.

I have and still enjoy both.

But, when I take the bike and tents, I have insurance. Poor Loogy implied that he didn't need
insurance to go camping.

I didn't imply any such thing, you moron!! You just are too feeble
minded to understand plain English. I said, and this is a EXACT quote
"don't have insurance on my tent". I don't. If you can't comprehend a
simple sentence, I'd suggest you go see a doctor, I think you just may
have Alzheimer's or something similar.

BS. If available I always take a spot with power/water.

I don't get it. Why? When I tent camped I never carried any electrical
gear that wasn't battery powered. Didn't carry a shower or toilet
either
Used the campground facilities.
Coleman stove, battery lights, 5 gallon collapsing water jug.
Always thought going light weight was what tent camping was about.
Besides that, the RV area is noisy.
And most of them I've seen have concrete aprons. Real hard to drive
tent stakes through that.
Never considered for a second buying an RV spot.
Are you talking about a tent, or a popup tent camper?

See my other response. Perhaps this location and our activities are
unusual. The power is convenient for a coffee pot and microwave which
allow more time on the river. We use a tent.

Oh, so maybe what I said wasn't 'BS'? If you are staying in a place where the tenters are on sites
with electricity and water, then it would be unusual as hell from what I've seen. We've been doing a
lot of camping, with motorcycles/tents and RV's over the past 20+ years, and I've not seen much of
that.

You stupid old fool, that's not what I asked, nor what I stated. Can you
simply not follow a conversation? Really, do you have Alzheimer's or
something?

~snerk~

That's you in a nutshell, stupid and proud of it.

Duh! So, what's your point? Are you saying that you can't hike and tent
camp in those areas???


I am saying I was not willing to drive to those places and trying to
pack your camping supplies on an airplane is not tenable.

At that point you are left with camping where you are willing to
drive.
My neighbor was an RV "camper" . He always had a six figure RV in his
driveway or in a paid parking lot facility (most of the time).
He always ended up losing about $50,000-100,000 when he traded them.
They were a maintenance black hole, got about 4-5 MPG on the road
towing another car. The campgrounds were not cheap and he still had to
buy food in or out.

We sat down and compared his cost to me and my wife, flying 1st class,
staying in suites in nice hotels, renting an SUV and cooking in
or eating out.
We came away cheaper and we got a lot more actual vacation out of our
2 or 3 weeks (unless driving a bus is your idea of fun).

Unless you actually go camping 4 or 5 times a year, locally, the hotel
is always going to be cheaper once you actually add up all of your
expenses..

I love to drive around the U.S.A. Did you realize you can see a lot more
driving than you can in an airplane?
