Why do i do this to myself ?😩

Im watching van builds and cruising motorhome videos.
Im so jealsous of some of these !

Mind you - some commerical motorhomes can be like $700 000....upto an obscene 3 million dollars - dafuq?!?!

On the build side - wow some people are creative and clever 😍

Still - its nice to watch and dream about such things 🥴

My wife and I used to do a lot of tent camping.

Another option, which I have been using more recently, is this. At some state parks, there are very no-frills cabins which can be rented for less than the price of a motel room. (Possibly with no utilities at all, so you would still be cooking outdoors on a camping stove or over the fire, just as you would in a tent.)

@DrWatson i think we have a few places like that, but in honest truth - id really love to be able to stop at cape, or a beach front or a lookout at night, and wake up to those amazing views, (in isolation).
I love the vibe of the quiet and the sound of the earth just turning🤗

@OogieBoogie During the summer after my first year of college (1971) a friend and I went on a camping road trip through New England and Canada. We had a tent. At one campsite we talked with an "old" retired guy, who had sold his house and was living out of his VW van. He drove up and down the East Coast of the US, fishing and staying at campgrounds. He just made sure that once a month he swung by his PO Box in Florida to pick up and deposit his Social Security check! (and nowadays, that is done electronically.)

His vehicle was not fancy, but he was happy.

Of course, that is easier for one person than two, probably.
