Yep. I literally get a crowd of people at every campground. And all of the big boy RV'ers are so envious of the simplicity of my camping lifestyle as well as the health aspects. While they're cooped up in their rolling condos, I bike ride, hike, always find a local gym and ride to it and work out. In fact, every time I come back from a camping trip, I'm stronger than before I left.
And then I look around at my house and can't wait to sell it.
