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. |

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? -- Ban idiots, not guns! Your 5er is nicer than Donnie's house, and Krause doesn't own a house. Let them cackle all they want. |

Ahh, "camping" at a suite at a good hotel...another interesting variation of RV'ing. 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. Green eyed monster crawling up his back. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
