True, the camper stays stocked with needed supplies. Letting out the sides were relativlely easy. Just got tired of sweeping it out, cleaning and cooking. It got to the point I felt like I wasn't on vacation. Also, we live in a rural area. We have deer walking through out yard, a fox stealing our shoes; ducks and geese abound. So often, when we went camping we would think, why are we here? We have this at home. We went on a three week treck last summer to Glacier, Yellowstone and other places, enjoyed it thoroughly. Just realized it was time to stop. My husband really doesn't like towing. The hybrid was the easiest to tow though.
