Why I really like our Montana...
I also did the scout camping quite a few times. And then did a few backpacking trips to camp farther out in the wilderness.
But one of my previous jobs years ago was as an archaeologist. So, I got to tent for 6 - 8 weeks a stretch and if we were lucky, somewhere close to a shower. There is nothing quite like working all day in the rain, and then coming "home" to find your tent blown over and full of rain where you were going to sleep for the night LOL (now, not then). We had the luxury of a cook shack, so at least we didn't have to cook, that was usually handled. I lived in the back of my dad's old Blazer for one dig, and finally got my own pickup with a canopy on it and lived in that one summer - boy was I living high - up off the ground, dry, screens on the windows, I even had a foam pad to sleep on!
But alas, that is why these old bones will probably never tent camp again - and why I REALLY appreciate the Montana!! It's not even a hotel room on wheels, it is a fully appointed house on wheels.
