What does your ideal cabin look like?

[Muddy]

This sure is one meandering thread!

Another possibility -- what we ended up doing is buying a tent trailer - very basic. Icebox - and just a heater for comfort. So instead of 1 location, we can go anywhere there's a place to set up, and I go off the grid - no electricity for up to 2 weeks. I have 2 RV batteries that last for about 3 days each, and take about 3 hours to charge. Here's the setup from 2 months ago...



Bought it 11 years ago for $5000...could probably sell it for $2000...

Thats all you need!

That's not camping

It's camping if I want my wife and daughter to come! This is at our annual family reunion - figured out that we have gone for 16 years running - missing only last year and about 5 years ago when we went to England.

So, you go all the way to Anglesea, UK to camp, do you Lance? I've actually been there (but not camped that way!)

My old boss had a 600,000 motorhome... that's not camping

The thing had more modern accoutrements than the house I'm sitting in right now. He often drove from here down to Texas on the Gulf Coast.

I asked him what his fuel bills were like and he said - You don't want to know.

Take the large tent out of that picture and our family of five lived in a tent trailer just like that one when we were on holidays

I still remember manually pulling out and pushing in the plywood sheets the beds sat on.
