 Well I've got a story to tell.  My wife and i are avid campers and have been camping for almost 50 years. We started with a tent. And a small one at that. Now as you would guess after a few years along comes two children - tent is to small so we bought a pop up camper, not much room but more than the tent. Well that worked for a lot of years. Children got older and out of school then marriage sold pop up. 
Fast forward to about 5 years ago.  Ginger says lets' start camping again.  Ok. So we start collecting camping gear again.  Bought a tent needed a biger car to haul everything in.  Now we are ready to go, first time to south GA. to Okeff you know that big swamp down there. We had a great time, but found it was harder to get up in the morning after sleeping on the ground. Now we moved to a bigger tent.  Plenty big for one of thoes double stack air mattresses.  Now we are moving on up!  No back ach in the morning, but now we can carry a TV more stuff.  We are having a great time I'm fly fishing and relaxing and enjoying life.  Now it's this year 2011 we are a lot older.  In August we decided to go to the mountains in NC.  Wonderful trip, but realized setting up and taking down a big tent is work and tireing. So on the way home we stopped by Camping World in Columbia, SC just to look--- Now we have a real travel trailer. This is the way to go.  Easy to set up comfortable and now Ginger and I are having fun traveling to different camp grounds and plan a 7 day trip in Oct. to Hunting Island.  Keep an eye out for more!  and check out the photo of our travel trailer.
