I watched the clip and it was interesting as that show isn't that far from us. For us, we have always defined ourselves as "campers" and not RVers. There is a long explanation for that which has evolved over the years. I told my husband the other day that I would happily travel and live out of tent along the way just for the adventure. I love the rooftop tents! He, however, is somewhat concerned about what others think. Boo! What we find though is that units that are more "campy" are also generally of lower quality. We're considering several different options. We have only been to 2 RV shows, one in Tucson and one in Fayetteville, NC. I spent most of my time looking at the seams on the outside, looking in the cupboards and looking at the attention to detail. They like to show the "little lady" all the "prettys" and seriously, when I walk away, the checkbook comes with me!

Pieere and Lucky Mike, right as usual. The heavier the unit, the harder to pull and the bigger the truck. If I want to simplify my life, why would I want to worry about all that? I have seen too many instances of problems caused by length and weight. I may be a strange bird but I prefer smaller units and (horrors) no slide outs. My DH and I have no children, no grandchildren and we're not too keen on entertaining so we don't need that much room. I may change my mind later, that's the beauty of "written in jello", but not yet.
