Did a bunch of work around the house, then spent Sunday buffing out the Mustang. Had to come back here to get some rest!!LOL

Tent camping, or with a camper?

The last time we went tent camping broke the wife of ever doing that again! Rained the last night we were there, everything was soaked, she stated that was it for her. Sold the tent after we got back!!

I"ve been thinking of getting a 5th wheel camper.

I know what you mean. We had 2 tents. One for the twins that was a piece of cake and one for the rest of us. That was a nightmare to put up. That plus the wind was so bad it kept pulling out the stakes. I think a nice little 19' would be great.

I'd really like to get a toy hauler, so we could take a couple of 4 wheelers with us.

I like tent camping, myself. I think the kids do, too. But, if Mama ain't happy, then nobody is happy!
