We pull into a private campground, or provincial park, or the parking lot of a major retailer, or someone’s front lawn and we’re home! A couple of connections made (or not), a couple of switches thrown, and we’re set! We can cook, we can shower, we can work, we can relax, we can sleep.
And we can dry off and warm up. Two of us are riding motorcycles, two in the RV. And when it’s raining (as it did for four days of our trip so far) and cold (14C) it can get pretty uncomfortable. It’s great when in just a couple of minutes you can be out of the elements.
We’ve seen lots of others in motorhomes: big bus/coach types – the Class “A” models (usually pulling a small car to get around while they’re parked at the campground); the van conversions, or Type “B”s, and the mini-motorhomes – Class C’s, like our CanaDream unit. In fact, we’ve seen one-or-two CanaDream units every day… feels kinda like family! And there’s travel trailers too, some pretty huge “fifth-wheel” units pulled by pick-ups, down to some modest, cleverly designed mini trailers an pop-up campers. And there’s Europeans in their own units that they container-shipped over.
We get it. There’s no place like home. And if you can take your home with you, it makes the adventure MUCH more fun.
