The missus and I worked our 3-hour shift at the RV Show at the state fairgrounds today. Prior to arriving at the fairgrounds, we had breakfast with several members of our camping club at a locally owned restaurant nearby.
Being at the RV Show is always great fun as we get to see all the latest models of campers and motorhomes, as well as company booths selling everything from wines to cutlery to battery powered scooters. This year, there was even an outfit there selling pontoon boats, which we call party barges.
While we enjoy looking, K and I are not in the market for a new rig. We have too much invested in getting our current camper all fixed and ready to get rid of it now.
Do you enjoy camping? If so, are you a tent camper, or do you have a camper trailer or motor home?

The one in the photo is for me, right up my alley.
I had never been to an RV show, but there is an RV dealer a few blocks from me, that when I am walking, I often browse.

We don't camp. But if something happens to George horse that could change

We still have the 5th wheel we bought four years ago. I think Jim recently bought a new rig.
Our camping club volunteers twice a year to operate the Family Campers and RVers Association booth at the RV show at the state fairgrounds in Raleigh. K and I usually take the Saturday morning shift.

That sounds like fun! We have been looking at used ones, but I think it will have to wait till at least next year!

My sister and brother-in-law had an RV growing up, and we'd go camping in it sometimes. However, I wasn't exactly a fan.

I like just pulling my car into a tent spot, spreading the mattress out, and getting a good night’s sleep with the moon roof open (I have a no-see-um screen over it). Don’t know if you’d call that camping.

K and I were tent campers for over 20 years before buying our first pop-up. I've tent camped since I was a kid. Not to mention four years in the infantry, which is like professional camping with weapons. Never much used our shelter-half tents.
Now, at our age, and spoiled by the comforts of our 5th wheel, I don't think I could go back to sleeping on the ground.
