RV or Tent

[elk311]

Both have thier advantages... a tent will go wherever your rig will go. The same cannot be said of an RV. I am however, pondering setting up both. Artic Fox and Montana Canvas elk camp... hmmmm...

I know a few camps that do just that. There's an Army wall tent for sleeping quarters for the younger crowd, then a wall tent for a mass kitchen/chow line, then a trailer or two for the adults to have as retreat and sleeping quarters.

I can see my camp evolve to something like that someday with my boys, and some relatives in the future. The trailer may sleep eight, but we seldom push that far.

Over the years, I keep changing camp size...... Started with the big ol' trailer, then to the camper....then really went small for a few years with just a tent only...  Now I am pulling a cargo trailer which I have installed a very basic kitchen in the front 18" of the trailer. (The cargo trailer is still handy to haul stuff since my kitchenette does not impact but 18" of space...) Basically a counter, a single burner stove, an oven and shelves, no water. I carry two freestanding 3.5 season tents which you can stand in, can withstand snow and pretty heavy winds. Great tents. They set up in 5 minutes, and they warm with just a gas lantern. Eureka Equinox tents.

For summer or campouts with the family, it is nice to just be able to toss everything into the cargo trailer and keep the cab of the expedition clear of gear.  Deer season with the kids, we sleep in one tent, cook in the cargo trailer, and lounge in the second more used/beaten up tent.  Elk season, I sleep in the cargo trailer on a cot or on top of the coolers... and only set up the beater tent for lounging in with my other camp mates. Works for me!

I've used them all, and there is no perfect camp.  What I'm finding works best so far is a camper though, especially if you have a boat and fish, or tow a jeep.  The ease of pulling into camp, the side of the road, etc, and jumping into the back to sleep can't be beat.  Right now I have a 22 foot toyhauler (wife wanted it for comfort), but I'm really trying to get a camper again.  I like Gasman's setup!  Actually, if I can get another camper, a wall tent for doing the boat hunting trips, then I'm set!

September for me, a one man gore tex bivy..... Not comfortable.... But keeps me alive.

Ditching the trailer this year for a new wall tent set up from Davis Tent.... If you order before the end of this month shipping is free.... I just ordered mine.....
