Love it, but my back doesn’t agree with sleeping on the ground anymore.

Yes - and have done many times over the years, mainly in tents but I have also owned four modestly-sized motor-caravans of various makes, in the past.
I think I'd struggle to use my lightweight tent now though, due to knee problems making kneeling and standing up from the floor, difficult. A pity because I enjoy camping that way, a backpacking tent is warmer than a large one at night or in cold weather; and on many holidays, I had no choice anyway.

@Musicman No, because I have neither the ground to store it on, nor the vehicle to tow it.
All the caravanettes I have owned were compact enough to use as everyday transport, including my last. That was a "Romahome" by brand, based on the small Citroen C15 van. One reason I sold it was that I had moved home to a narrow road with roadside parking only, where even though I had fitted a reversing-camera, I found the Romahome very difficult to park or extricate at times because the conversion had doubled the body overhang beyond the rear axle.

As a child, yes. As an adult - I've never gone camping ( I don't know how my dad it for all 5 kids from his late 20s into his early 60s).

@SageWanderer When I was younger, I used to look down on people who camped like that, and now I wish I could afford one of those.

@LordShadowfire I actually liked more of a primitive style but to accommodate my wife a compromise was needed. Now I guess there has been an adaptation to those creature comforts.

@SageWanderer I still prefer a bare bones style, but my days of sleeping directly on the ground are behind me. Also, I need a refrigerator for my insulin and a place to plug in my BiPAP.

I used to. I'm too old and feeble now. I can barely walk on a sidewalk much less a mountain trail.

No, I'm a bug magnet. Plus I need fan blowing on me while I sleep.

No way I need running water for my hands

I do, my bowels don't.

Yep. Don’t do it enough.

I used to like it. Now my bones complain all the time.

I definitely enjoy glamping in our motorhome. 😊
