camping quandry

I love camping and it is my preferred way to spend down time. I have camped for weeks at a time and enjoyed every second of it. We sold our camper last year however and haven't camped for a long while until last weekend. I did major internet shopping and bought a mega-tent, mega-cots, new dishes, tupperware glasses, a portable kitchen table thingy and even a new tablecloth. The yuppies went rustic camping (compared to our camper-camping). It was a lot of work. DH did most of the work. It was very humid and rained a lot. I enjoyed it and slept well, thanks to the cot, but everything was a little more problematic than I wanted it to be. I missed having hot water and a sink and an ac.

Upon returning home, we discussed getting a motorcycle camper. They are tiny enough for a motorcycle to pull them (or my Prius) and it's basically a bed with a little standing room to change clothes or set a chair. It's very appealing. Even more appealing is getting a camper and parking it somewhere and visiting it regularly.

Looking for exactly the right situation. But I would still rather camp than stay in a hotel. Later this week I leave on a couple of trips and will spend 8 out of 9 nights in motel/hotels. I'm looking forward to the trips, but not all the strange beds.
