Hey there. It's been awhile since I posted on this forum. In years past you guys helped me reacquaint myself with tent camping. In that time I moved on to a pop-up camper, a hybrid travel trailer, and than a motor home.
Last month we consigned our motor home and were lucky to have it sold in 2 weeks.
Among the reasons we left the RV world was the exceptional cost that was in direct contrast to the quality of the units. In short our findings across multiple manufacturers was that the rigs are made cheap and are prone to failure. Also. We found ourselves doing less 'camping' and more sitting around in front of our electronics and TVs, no nature walks, etc. The ongoing maintenance on these types of things onerous too. In the end it just wasn't worth it to us anymore.
So now I'm back where I started. We have a lot of gear from the RV that is useable for tent camping. I just ordered my Eureka Timberline 6 SQ (fond memories of my scouting years). I have my LLBean screen house (and fly). I have a few more odds and ends to acquire and we're heading back out.
Nice to to be back with you all.
