Hi Shawn,
RH> Couldn't run it at night so it was hot and stuffy--still had the
RH> R-Pod so less room for air to circlate. Next time we head over that
RH> way we'll reserve a site with hook ups well in advance!
SH> We were "lucky" in the few years we used the pop up every time we
SH> parked it would rain or cloud over. Never missed or needed the a/c
SH> lol It was called the rainmaker for a reason. :)
Sounds like the one year we camped in Interlaken, Switzerland. Went down
from Frankfurt am/Main with some friends for the European Baptist
Convention in early July. Got there, set up in the rain, rained the next
couple of days. Third day our friend rigged up an extensive plastic
covering over his tent, said that it better rain that night to test it
out. Not a drop that night (!!) but plenty more over the next couple of
days. Our last full day there there was no rain, lasted into the next
day so we were able to break a fairly dry camp.
I'd grown up tent camping, tents with no floors. We'd done pretty well
on family trips avoiding rain but the last night out one year we hit a
gulley washer of a storm, had rivers running thru the tents. Before our
trip the next year my dad bought new tents--with floors--but I don't
think there were any more trips with that much rain.
RH> It's also a matter of not wanting to go to bed on a somewhat full
RH> stomach. But, sometimes we've no choice but to drive further than
RH> desired for lack of a place to stop. We rarely make reservations,
not RH> knowing how far we will travel in a day, especially if there's
RH> something interesting to check out along the way. (G)
SH> That's the good thing about towing your "house" behind you, doesn't
SH> matter how far you make it for the most part. :)
True, Steve said that he likes sleeping in his own bed. Plus, we don't
have to spend as much on meals, especially if we bring a lot from home
for the first week or so. I don't think we've tried making a pizza but
one year we did do an apple crisp, using an oven that set on top of the
Coleman (propane) stove outside. Temperature regulation was tricky on
that but we got a decent cobbler. Took it over to the assisted living
place where my in laws were; we could only visit with them on the
screened porch. Mom had ordered pizza, sister in law brought a salad so
we had quite a feast. Next day we couldn't even visit on the porch
(Covid shut things down hard) so we headed back to NC. Stopped at a
Cracker Barrel overnight but had to get supper to go as they weren't
doing any sit down meals.
