LOL I often wonder why some folks even GO camping since they bring so many decorations from home with them. Palm trees lighting up the campground, the flamingos, and assorted other "yard art" when NATURE trumps them every time (with no batteries required)

Some people don't "GO" camping -they are full timers and choose to have their setup just like they would a sticks and bricks home.
To each their own - who's to say which is the "right" way?

You know most popups sleep way more people than most TTs, MHs, or 5ers.

I'm glad he didn't talk about my Lab in the kennel straped down next to the grill in the bed of my truck. (he-he)

We use our Toy Hauler for offroading events so we typically travel with a full size Jeep, 40 gallon air compressor and air tools, Mig welder, full assortment of hand tools, spare drive train parts for the Jeep, spare fluids for engine, tranny, t-case and axles, spare tires and a whole bunch of other stuff. We also carry a fold up white plastic picnic table which has become a staple for our group. I also carry a 5 ton floor jack, jack stands, a couple percussive maintenance devices (BFH) and plenty other odds and ends. I've got the carrying capacity and having an air compressor has some in very handle changing trailer tires on the side of the freeway. It's not uncommon for our awning to become a work shop area.

While strolling through a busy National Forest Campground, saw a Guy preparing and cleaning his site with a back-mounted 2 stroke powered leaf blower. Dust was flying over to his neighbor's sites. I thought it was ironic that he had the presence of mind to where ear protection.

We've seen a few cats that can be walked on a leash. That is very cool but is unusual to me.
