Until you have to climb in and out of one w a buzz on!


Maybe so, but if you mount the rooftop tent on the bed rails, they are probably about the same difficulty getting in/out.

I've come to the conclusion that there is rv'ing and camping and an infinite number of points on the line btwn the 2. I find myself on the camping end of the spectrum in that I bring everything I need to camp outdoors. Others bring everything they need so they can have their home on wheels. Of course I'm not as old as many of you so as the the years roll on I may not be physically able to continue w a minimalist style.

I'm probably going from a fully equipped Class B back to a four wheel camper shell model w nothing but a bed, solar, and batteries. Everything else I can bring as needed for a particular trip. My hesitation is my wife prefers more amenities, such as a shower, toilet, and sink w running water that I can easily do w/out or substitute a temporary solution. For instance in warm weather we might try to camp near a hot spring, stream or lake so we can swim, stay in a motel every few nights or pay for a shower.


This is well said. I have had 2 previous non slide Lances. They both were nice but overkill for my needs. I camp and like to hike and chase birds. A lighter minimally equipped camper is more suitable for me.
