Good day Rex.

If I win on the lotto, I would buy I campervan before a Rolls Royce  or similar. It would get me from campsite to campsite. I would still sleep under canvas each night.  ( I own 3 tents) and that is my perfect holiday in the Uk or Europe. Now my family say that if I win on the Lotto they would have me committed as insane if i still went camping !                                                                                                              Should I worry about this ?  I have tried to convert them but I think they are mad ! What sort of society does not understand the Great Outdoors???  Have i failed them in some way......

Like most on here, we camp because it's our holiday of choice.

Maybe it's a control thing, but I'd rather sleep on our airbed, in our own tent, and cook our own choice of food on our own cooker, than sleep in an hotel bed and eat mass-produced tasteless nosh anyday!

I think this is a great topic for a camping forum. Rex, as you say, it is only a conversation about our favourite hobby. Camping is like eating olives - you either love it or hate it. If you hate it then you will never understand why people even do it let alone actually enjoy it.

For me it is the fresh air, my own bed, and freedom to do exactly what I want.

If I won the lottery - I must admit I would buy a campervan and tour Europe.
