Question of the Week: Is It Really Camping If You Stay in an RV?

Thanks in no small part to the hit Canadian cult show The Trailer Park Boys, RVs and trailers certainly have a developed a reputation as being not-so-classy, but the truth is when camping, what could be classier than not having to hike it through a dark forest when nature calls? Further, there are a great many trailers and RVs out there that are not only convenient and comfortable, but downright stylish and in some cases even better equiped than my condo! Which is exactly what leads me to our question this week, like glamping, some would argue that staying in an RV isn't really camping at all. If you bring your home on wheels to the great outdoors are you really roughing it?

What do you think? Is it really camping if you do it from the comfort (and style) of an RV?

We do random camping (not in a campground) in Alberta's foothills right up against the mountains with our rv.  I certainly consider it camping - just more comfortable than a tent - also much safer when you are in bear and cougar country.  We still spend all our time outside around the fire, quadding, fishing, etc.  Its a blast!

No, its RVing but they are not so distant cousins.

It's a home away from home!

I agree with Jennifer! Rving is definitely different that "camping", but they are related.

You bet-cha!   Years ago I did both.   Camping in an RV

just makes life   a little easier with four kids, a sheep dog, and a hubby!   After all,  MOM is on a holiday too. :)
