I'd love to have one of those large tents for tent camping but... with all the stuff I'd want to make tent camping more comfortable, I don't think you'd consider it tent camping! :DDDDDDWhen we do rustic camping, I bring a trailer full of gear and we set up our compound. Sleeping tent, gear tent, Cook area, hot shower, large rain canopy at the ready! Got to be ready for rain. Nothing worse than camping in the rain if you can't stay dry without hibernating!We plan a gourmet menu to cook over an open fire. We're quite good at it. Hot dogs are fine but salmon with basil cream sauce goes much nicer with a glass of wine.All the comforts of home with no power! Well .....except for my chain saw. After we get camp set up, I take the trailer to look for dry dead fall off site and cut up a load for the stay. Sooo much less work that way and always a nice fire doing in the pit!After that, it's all peace and quiet.
The only camping i've done in recent years is at Cypress Cove in my little pup tent. Haven't cooked out or had a camp fire. Mainly it's just a place to crash at the end of the night. Back in the early 80's when I lived in San Clemente, CA my girlfriend and I drove to Big Sur and camped out for a couple of days, not nude unfortunately. It was beautiful up there. When we woke up the first day there we noticed our neighbor camper from L.A. was out by the electric tree with her Cappuccino maker. She said she couldn't leave home without it. LOL!
It's getting real close to unloading and store ours for the winter. Our club already officially closed to visitors and were next on the chopping block a few weeks. I can fix about anything on a camper including the AC (yes Andy that was a jab I found humerus :D ) However at the beginning of season I tapped the gate at the club with the awning power arm. After a series of calling myself names I walked away from it and called the repair guy. Awning work I have and can do if I chose but have learned from doing it that I'd rather choose someone else to do it. Sadly it probably cost as much as Andy's AC repair.
Sadly, I put our rig (travel trailer) to bed for the winter. Blow out all the water lines and suck in the RV antifreeze. You know it's end of season. here in PA when you want into Wally World for RV antifreeze and they have pallets of jugs out on the floor. This is the first year for us as newbie RVers so I was srrprised that it too 8 gallons of antifreeze to flush out all the lines and have some extra to put down the traps and tanks. And I was told by our dealer to NEVER put antifreeze in the fresh tank even though it is supposedly non toxic.
