Re: Can my car pull it?
Yes, I could see the allure of waking up in a hardshell mobile home in the middle of a national park or something like that, but Man-O-Man what an expense and hassle. Last year, I visited the Oregon coast and there were guys from California driving the biggest fifth wheels I have ever seen. What a white knuckle experience that must be driving those enormous rigs around those narrow winding cliff hanging roads! I just couldn't fathom why anybody would want to do that unless it was for the sheer thrill of danger. Sometimes I will see guys trying to back their rigs into narrow campsites. I really do admire some of them because some guys are really good at it. Other guys are stressing out going back and forth, yelling at their wives.... yikes. Of course, even I have backed my compact car into boulders at campsites, so I got nothing to brag about.
Your comments about perspectives are spot on, James. When I was younger, I thought people who camped in developed campgrounds were nuts, now I spend plenty of time camping in campgrounds. Maybe if I had a big rig, my wife would camp with me more than once per year.
