Show After Working Five Days, Parents Can Pack Up The Gang For A Weekend Of Camping It sounds like an impossible goal: to find an activity that an entire family can enjoy, yet one that will still satisfy individual tastes and the desire to pursue hobbies, be educational and affordable. Its not. Consider family camping. Camping is extra work, isnt it? Especially for parents who work all week and look forward to weekend relaxation. It doesn't have to be, because with a recreational vehicle standing by, a lot of the work of camping has been taken out of it. Designers of todays RVs have done great things with small spaces, and they come in price ranges to fit any familys budget. Consider it as an investment spread over several years, one that will trim hundreds of dollars off the cost of hotel and motel rooms, eliminate the need for restaurant meals, yet take a family to places of interest, open the door to outdoor adventures and provide the chance to meet people from every walk of life. Well, nothing else comes close to giving that kind of return on dollars spent. And, it may be quite possible to sell the unit years later and recover all of the initial cost. Fold-dowcamping trailers are the entree many families have found to the RV lifestyle. You dont have to sleep on the ground, but instead have comfortable foam mattresses to rest on. Small kitchen areas make meal preparation part of the fun, and the dinette area does triple duty: a place to eat, to read or play games, and an extra bed. n These trailers are weathertight when closed down. They tow easily and allow visibility on the road, add little to gas consumption, set up in about 15 minutes and open to offer spaciousness in camp. Closed down they fit into most garages or can be stored outside all year round. A company which has been making camping trailers for 20 years demonstrated that towing its units adds only one gallon of gas per 100 miles. The use of a camping trailer, even outside the camping season, are many: portable hunting lodge, extra guest room at home or when visiting friends and realtives, or just a backyard retreat. Families who travel enjoy a real sense of security and comfort knowing they have their home on wheels with them. With about 16,000 campgrounds and recreational vehicle parks in the country, finding space at the end of the day is no problem. Indeed, many campgrounds take advance reservations, just like motels, and you will know each nights destination and can leave an itinerary behind. Best of all, the chores can be divided up, and setting up and packing up become smooth operations. Theres a lot of time for enjoying campground activities, and then, at the end of the day, gathering around a campfire to talk about the dav's fun and plan for tomorrows events. Schedules, telephones and other distractions are far away. Theres just you and your family, and the home you brought with you.
