QUOTE(crappiebuster @ Aug 23 2013, 09:17 AM) We are full-timers but we spend time in the Enid, OK area. We have been full time for 12 years. 10 years fifth wheel and two years in Truck Camper.  Wow 2 years in your truck camper, that's great! We have a very nice 40' 5th Wheel, we prefer our Truck camper, we use it all the time. We just completed a trip over the Co Rockies into NV to California and back the southern route thru NM. What do you do in Enid (Family?) |

QUOTE(zcookiemonstar @ Jan 1 2013, 10:38 PM) Anyone know of any good camping shows in the Chicago area? Last year we went to the RV and Camping show and all they had was two Lance campers in the whole show. this seems to be the way it is now, I just went to a big show in Texas and they had none. 16 Dealers and not one slide in camper. |

QUOTE(FolsomBrad @ May 10 2010, 08:45 PM) Since I didn't get any replies I take it that nobody is well-versed in "urban Camping." So I thought I'd fill you all in how our attempt at "urban camping" in our truck camper in San Francisco went. We couldn't have been more pleased with how it worked out. Rolled-into the city at about 5:30, had a couple beers in the camper, went and had a great dinner, and then went to the concert. Parked only a few blocks from where the concert was. We found a place on a side street that intersected Geary to park -- Geary is a main busy street. Our campsite, I mean parking place,was in between medical offices and a park. Had no hassles at all sleeping in the camper. We slept in and had a leisurely breakfast in the morning. I'm sure glad we didn't waste money on the RV park -- it would have been $70 plus two taxi rides. Here's a picture of our "campsite" below. We have the Lance truck camper...notice our neighbor across the street in the bigger RV...from the looks of it my guess is that he may be camping long-term.  I just saw your post, we stayed just north of SF in Dec, in a Motel Parking lot. How did you decide on your location, did it seem safe? I heard that in Ca in some city's it's common to see RV's parked on the street urban camping. We are planning another trip out west and where thinking about the area south of SF on PCH. It seems most of the RV parks are unreasonable in there pricing. |

QUOTE(aqualung @ Mar 8 2013, 03:48 PM) Boondocking is campng in a remote location without any hookups. Dry Camping is camping without any hookups but not in a remote location. For example, camping in a Walmart parking lot without hookups is Dry Camping. Camping in the desert with no civilization and coyotes as your neighbors is Boondocking. Boondocking is a form of Dry Camping but Dry Camping is not Boondocking... The picture above?.... Definitely Boondocking. While in the past I used your definition, in my travels as of late it seems the term has come to mean Free Camping as seen here <http://www.boondocking.org/> I do prefer your example though! |

I always thought Boondocking was Free Camping and without hookups sometimes with permission one can find a electric hookup and if it's free then it still qualifies as Boondocking. |

My Wife and I live in Moore Ok and we are curios to know if there are any other Truck Campers in our area. I'm from Wyoming where they are common, we have yet to see one in the OKC area.  |
