Leroy,
No problem, to each his own. The wife and I lived in a campground our
first 5 years together A 28' Terry Taurus and then a 34' Avion. We
traveled for work quite a bit and it was great. Campgrounds are fine
if you like them, I don't always feel like sharing my life story
every night with my newest neighbor. This is a unique problem in a
Bird. Most campers assume, well who knows what they assume but I get
a bit weary being the center of attention every time I set up in a
new campground. We travel three ways. First we have a destination,
point A to point B. When I travel alone this is generally my method
of operation. I go, I sleep, I eat, I go, I'm trying to get
somewhere. When I get there I camp at whatever venue I'm at. The
second is touring. Mom wants to see and do stuff, when out west due
to the distances and limited time she wants to see 5 states in three
weeks there isn't a lot of time to go camping, so I'd call that
touring. Then there is camping, last X-mass we spent 9 days camping 3
days in Destin,3 days on Dauphin Is.,3 days in New Orleans. That's
more like slow motion touring. Several months ago I started a thread
about Private RV lots. Got lots of feedback, we even purchased a lot
in Cortez Fla. ½ mile from the beach. It had a boat slip with the lot
the whole 9 yards. We sold it. Mom wanted to know why we would need a
bus if we are going to sit on a RV lot. Well she's right we bought a
bird to tour in. So I guess if I were a camper I would get a huge
fifth wheeler with tip outs and all that. But the name is Horvath,
Horvath's are Roma's, Roma's are Gypsies, Gypsies aren't comfortable
in the same place for long. So if you got to go, go in the best. If
not buy a house. They're cheaper.

for J.B Hunt and see the same thing you are seeing parking at the
truck stop, rest area or road shoulder and get paid to do it. They
maintain the truck. Great return on your investment.
