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.


Rain is part of camping.


And it sounds nice on the roof my truck camper. Not so much when we used a
tent.

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.

Once you get up into that class, 1st class air fare and a suite at the
Marriott starts looking cheap unless you are gone a lot.

Ahh, "camping" at a suite at a good hotel...another interesting
variation of RV'ing.

Unless living in airplanes and hotel rooms doesn't appeal to you.
Beautiful scenery and a dark sky make for excellent eclipse viewing.

You don't seem like a happy camper. Why not? You appear to be well cared
for and are given sufficient toys to keep you busy. Health issues aside,
you should be thankful.

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?

Your 5er is nicer than Donnie's house, and Krause doesn't own a house.
Let them cackle all they want.

Since beginning of March, we've been out at least two weekends each month and a
couple 7-10 trips. Next week we spend four days at Solomons, then straight to
Tennessee for a week. Then things slow down.

I'd say we're getting some good use out of it.
