Camper vs Tent
1 - 14 of 14 Posts
I like both actually, but a camper/RV tends to keep out what you want to stay out a little better than a tent. however, a tent can get you into places a camper will keep you out of.
interesting poll, i will wait to see the results.

Camper in this instance (forum name), means "one whom is camping". So really it applies to both.
I like both types of camping, but yes, I feel safer with a wall, even if it is just paneling and thin aluminum between me and the wildlife that happens to see me as a food source.

I was always a diehard tent camper. I love the simple minimalist ways. I love sleeping on the ground and using my skills. It is perfect if it’s not cold and raining for days. That is why my husband finally talked me into getting a class B RV. We still keep it simple but we no longer have trips ruined or canceled because of weather. We spend more time exploring because we don’t have to spend time setting up and tearing down camp. We don’t need hook ups so we can stay anywhere. We don’t waste time looking for somewhere to pitch a tent. I am happy in either as long as I am in nature.

I like campers & RVs just fine however they do not like to go (or get out of) where I like to camp; off of unmaintained, semi extreme, Jeep trails.
Enjoy!

I am a tent camper mainly for economic reasons. My wife and I don't make a lot of money we could never afford a camper. With a combined income of around 60k a year between our two jobs, we ain't making it and are barely scraping by. Tent camping supplies and tents are dirt cheap compared to campers. My wife always says about getting an RV one day and then I show her how much Used & New ones cost and we know it will never be a possiblity for us. So we are happy just sticking to tent camping..
I make a whopping 13K per year... just saying...
I have a tiny house camper - no bathroom in it (although it does have a sink!) - just a bed and some creature comforts. I typically camp with it where there isn't electricity so I have a small solar panel for things like cell phones or to recharge batteries in a flash light. I've also tent camped before but I prefer the trailer only because the light doesn't wake me up as early as in a tent. ;-) That and rain storms aren't nearly as obnoxious.

...Tried van, trailer and popup "camping" most of these and most RVs are extremely limited in terms of the terrain they can traverse.
If a you want to try trailer or RV camping rentals are sometime available. Trailers may require a "Tow" vehicle that is significantly heavier (duty) and bigger than a car. (I basically destroyed an automatic transmission the first time that I tried trailer camping).
I prefer tents since they can go where I can (and prefer to) go... away from the "civilized" rat race!
Enjoy!
