I'm going to camp in a (gasp!) tent this weekend.
Going on a river trip with a large group. I'm so spoiled with my MH, the ONLY time I'll sleep in a tent is on a river trip -- but usually it's a multiple-day trip on the river and we're sleeping in the wilderness. But this time we'll be car-camping and putting our boats in for daily runs on the river. Not the same.
With getting older I've also gotten smarter ... I've graduated to a cot with an inflatable mattress. I'm too old to sleep on the ground any more. 
I'll have to remember to bring a BIG bottle of ibuprophen for my river-weary muscles. And sunscreen. And bug spray.

You will feel like a new person by the end of the trip.

Wishing you well on your trip. Ibuprofen works wonders. Using a mattress, you'll probably be fine.

Ha! My mountain biking friends call Ibuprophen "Vitamin I" ... I'll take it BEFORE I even get in my boat. And after. And after. God bless whoever invented the stuff.

I felt like a slightly damaged person at the end of the trip. BIG water, small whiplash.

Once you camp on wheels, it's hard to go back.
