They look pretty cool and small enough and light enough for me to tow with my Wrangler. Just too small for my wife! :DDD She feels we'll be cramped for space in our 30 ft , single slide Winnebago. I doubt she'll go for a Casita! Have fun in it! ;D
I'd love to have one of those large tents for tent camping but... with all the stuff I'd want to make tent camping more comfortable, I don't think you'd consider it tent camping! :DDDDDDWhen we do rustic camping, I bring a trailer full of gear and we set up our compound. Sleeping tent, gear tent, Cook area, hot shower, large rain canopy at the ready! Got to be ready for rain. Nothing worse than camping in the rain if you can't stay dry without hibernating!We plan a gourmet menu to cook over an open fire. We're quite good at it. Hot dogs are fine but salmon with basil cream sauce goes much nicer with a glass of wine.All the comforts of home with no power! Well .....except for my chain saw. After we get camp set up, I take the trailer to look for dry dead fall off site and cut up a load for the stay. Sooo much less work that way and always a nice fire doing in the pit!After that, it's all peace and quiet.
The only camping i've done in recent years is at Cypress Cove in my little pup tent. Haven't cooked out or had a camp fire. Mainly it's just a place to crash at the end of the night. Back in the early 80's when I lived in San Clemente, CA my girlfriend and I drove to Big Sur and camped out for a couple of days, not nude unfortunately. It was beautiful up there. When we woke up the first day there we noticed our neighbor camper from L.A. was out by the electric tree with her Cappuccino maker. She said she couldn't leave home without it. LOL!
Went and got the motorhome from storage this morning. Nice naked drive there and back. Had to slip on the shorts to open the gate to the staging area. The storage lot has several cameras for security.
The coach is on the curb. I opened it up and got the generator running, finally. Our motorhome sits too long and the house batteries drained too low to turn the generator over. Took me about 30 mins of running the engine to charge them up. Now my dash A/C isn't working properly. If it isn't one thing, it's another! :DDD Ahhh, the joys of RV ownership!
Heading out within the hour to retrieve my Jeep that was having all the flat tow equipment installed. We'll drive the motorhome down to get it and learn the in's and out's of this new tow system and braking system. I didn't have a braking system on the old jeep and I had those magnetic towing lights. This new Jeep has the lights all set up with the motorhome so no more magnetic lights!
Because the dash A/C isn't working... it'll have to be a naked drive down to get the Jeep and back home again! :DDDDD
I could save lots of money if I was a bit more... mechanical! hahahaha
Have the motorhome in the shop for A/C repairs. Expensive trip but without dash air, makes my wife really hot and irritable. Only upside is that she wears less and less when it's that hot in the coach. That's not a bad thing! hahahaha But she swears it won't change her "motorhome attire", she just won't be irritable!
When I get it back, today, we'll spend some time out there tonight and tomorrow before I take it back to storage. We'll get it back out again in a week and work on it some more before heading out on our trip to Nor Cal and Laguna Del Sol. Hoping for some nice weather and lots of naked time together out in the open, other than our backyard!
Seems I can't go a season without repairing or replacing a worn out part. Our rig is an '04 Winnebago. It's got 21, 000 miles on it. It belonged to my dad and he hardly used it. It wasn't abused but neglected and just sat in storage. It seems to do that even with us and when these things just sit, parts break. ;D
Dash air works and it's headed back to storage until early next week when I bring it back home for our trip up north. Looking forward to a nice long naked drive and a week on being naked at a resort!
It's getting real close to unloading and store ours for the winter. Our club already officially closed to visitors and were next on the chopping block a few weeks. I can fix about anything on a camper including the AC (yes Andy that was a jab I found humerus :D ) However at the beginning of season I tapped the gate at the club with the awning power arm. After a series of calling myself names I walked away from it and called the repair guy. Awning work I have and can do if I chose but have learned from doing it that I'd rather choose someone else to do it. Sadly it probably cost as much as Andy's AC repair.
