Hi everyone, we are very very interested in the RVing thing. We are a family of four...Mom (me), Dad and 2 kids (5, 3.5). Anyway, we've done some tent camping in the summers which is great fun, but alas my back is not so great as it used to be. We are looking into renting a pop-up camper this summer and taking that out (we will also tent camp
a few times). Anyway, I've been looking around for pricing, etc, but we will attempt at just the rental to begin with.
I absolutely LOVE the idea of traveling around with a camper for months at a time, but I do think that will have to
wait until the children are grown and we are retired. Also, the campers (even pop-ups) seem a bit on the pricey side for our budget...looks like you can't touch a pop-up for under 8K (maybe used are much more reasonable). I love the campground atmosphere and the people are so nice and friendly even the ones in the rigs that easily cost three times what our house is worth.
I just love the idea of having all my own *stuff* with me...when staying in a hotel there's always that feeling that
someone else has been using everything (and having been a housekeeped in a hotel when I was younger, you have
NO idea)...so given a choice between a hotel room or a camper with my own bedding stuff etc in it (even the tent)...I'd pick my own dirt over hotel dirt every time.
Anyway, just looking to get info and eventually, hopefully become a real live RVer. Storage of any type of pop-up/camper is also an issue at our house in the burbs with only a 2-car garage. Thanks a bunch and I hope to get some great ideas here.
