Or however those of you not from the US refer to hauling your own domicile along when traveling. ;-)

I must admit, I am mostly a tent camper, but in my, ahem, more mature years, I find out I'm starting to wimp out at the temp extremes. So, a few years ago I did give in and bought a smallish camper. I very much enjoyed it. In fact I enjoyed it so much I wrote a little song about it. I don't know how to put the music on paper, but here are the lyrics:

-----------
Here I sit at the dumping station
Just like the rest of the RV nation, buddy
I gotta lighten my load
Mosey on down the road

(refrain)
I don't need no motel
RV's don't ring my bell
Tents get hotter than hell!
I need a camper to tow
I need a camper to tow

I don't need a whole lot of money
To stay in the woods just me and my honey
Instead of hanging out in bars
Make out under the stars

(refrain)
I don't need no motel
RV's don't ring my bell
Tents get hotter than hell!
I need a camper to tow
Shoulda done it long time ago
I'd even take it to Tokio
Hitch it to the truck and go

I need a camper to tow!
--------

So, who on here enjoys it? I lost mine in the divorce, and I do miss it. More than my ex, lol.

Any good camper stories? ;-)

In the states we usually refer to this as RVing. Just an FYI :)

You're right, but not strictly correct as some folks have pointed out to me. Actually, rv's are the motorized ones. Campers are the tow behinds. I wanted to make sure I made the distinction.

Actually RV is a recreation vehicle which could include go-carts,motorcycles,travel trailers,ect. The motorized versions are called motorhomes.
