There's something positive and negative to be said about any type of camping.tinyyellowteardrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146256337115269302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-22813398979374314382012-12-06T15:25:06.188-08:002012-12-06T15:25:06.188-08:00Hi J,
Thank you for your comment. I really admire...Hi J,<br /><br />Thank you for your comment. I really admire and I'm kinda jealous of full-timers. It seems like a wonderful lifestyle that I hope to experience one day. Don't get me wrong about my comment on larger RVs. There are some larger trailers that I think are really sweet (I love camping trailers in general), and I covet an Airstream Bambi. Teardroppers are an interesting group, and while I am generalizing here, they tend to be more social and outdoors-oriented than many "larger RV" types. This is from my own experience.<br /><br />However, I do think that campers are the nicest people in the world.tinyyellowteardrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146256337115269302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-63791515513248390872012-12-06T13:57:56.200-08:002012-12-06T13:57:56.200-08:00Just found your blog, good job.
Although I must co...Just found your blog, good job.<br />Although I must comment on the diesel pusher reference, sorry your friend doesn't use the Class A more, shame.<br />I have been full timing for about 15 years.<br />Started in an Airstream, to a 5er, to my 40 ft pusher. I drive from south Florida in winter to Tennessee in spring Colorado and Wisconsin in summer and New England in the fall every year.<br />I love it, wouldn't trade it for anything. After all the cost, it is still less that owning a house that would provide the comfort I have. It has a smaller foot print as well.<br />That being said, I have been camping out of a backback for 28 years, have a small trailer (10 FT) and a truck camper. <br />I have moved from a pack to a 40ft rolling home in 28 years.<br />Some turtles have nice shells. I still camp at 8,000 feet with no tent in February and love every moment. <br />Don't be so harsh about people in big RV's.<br />Like I said I love the site. Keep up the good work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984193586176923046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-50607341316381638432012-12-06T05:14:11.805-08:002012-12-06T05:14:11.805-08:00Sure.

It was so cramped in there! :-)<br /><br />I also write for the Tiny House Blog and would love to do a feature on your sailboat or your ambulance camper. Could I contact you?tinyyellowteardrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146256337115269302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-88383091836038605952012-12-05T08:09:55.245-08:002012-12-05T08:09:55.245-08:00Just found your site through a link from "Boa...Just found your site through a link from "Boat Bits." I love it!<br /><br />My lovely wife and I used to spend up to half the year camping. We lived out of a tent. A tear drop would have been a big step up. I always had to check them out when in campgrounds. <br /><br />If you go small, you can go all the time. That's the advantage of a tear drop over a big RV. My wife and I actually refused a free motorhome in good condition as we figured it would be more trouble that it's worth.<br /><br />Now we spend less time camping and more time sailing on a 19 foot Oday sailboat. Just like your teardrop, we get to to sail all the time. Those with bigger boats rarely leave the dock or go very far. <br /><br />Recently I converted a decommissioned ambulance into a mini camper. It's a place to sleep and pulls the boat too. <br /><br />Glad to have found your site.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.com
