Avada Kedavra!
Hey, this was to give life to a thread, not murder it!

But you murdered part of the old one.
No, the old one gave birth to a new one. You know, it budded.
Nice! Thanks!
Hey now. Weāll have none of that asexual reproduction here, missy!

The āin SECURITYā comic strip I mentioned previously has a storyline involving Royās āPamper Camperā. Starts on July 20, 2017 and runs through the 29th. The current storyline that started on August 4th tells how Charlene and Roy met and includes living in that camper.
(This one continues the storyline of Sedene giving Ellie a completely new look to improve her dating prospects, which leads to mistaken identity, a football game and true love, but I missed the part where Roy was involved, so Sedeneās and Ellieās reason for confronting Charlene is a bit out of the blue.)
Whilst this thread is going on, what about Jeremyās camper as seen on top gear? 
Now that made me laugh.

All three of their campers were āspecialā in a unique way.
Yes, Jeremyās had that extra touch of something specialā¦ and a large dollop of absurd. As I recall, Richardās was even more absurd but differently, and Jamesā was inadequate but less overblown.
IIRC, Hammond had the āsome assembly requiredā one, unless Iām thinking of a different version of the bit. Basically he had to set his up from parts, but had a sizable space, albeit not too wind-resistant. Jameās was, of course, super low-tech and efficient, if you donāt mind sleeping in a coffin attached to your roof.
Thatās the one Iām thinking of, yeah. I remember Hammond complaining about the cold, and then they had to drive somewhere and use their rigs, but his was back at base camp and he was outta luck.
Ha! Yeah, pretty much.
Shots of my rig. I have a 2017 Ram 1500 with a hemi V8. The trailer is a Passport Ultralight, 4800 lbs empty. I can tow around 8k, the RPMs donāt show the strain, but the MPGs do.I go from 18-22 mpg to 8-14 mpg.
With optional driver installed.
On our way home after a short trip.
On our first ever trip out.
Donāt do this with your trailer.

Nice! Thatās perfect, plus a slide out. I like it!
Campers take on a life of their own: You paid a lot for that thing, youāre paying to insure it, depending on where you live you pay to store itā¦ so you feel compelled to use itā¦ often!
Iād love to have the $$$ to have one, but Mrs and I donāt want to get into that cycle, so we havenāt taken the leap.
But if we were going toā¦
Hard sided (not like a canvas pop-up), with on board HVAC, kitchen, bathroom, beds. It folds down so you lose less MPG, pops up in a jiffy.

That is pretty slick. Iād seen hard side popups before, but not those.
