I've been using a tent for a while now. It sure saves money and I always have a parking place.

Hell yeah, that is a lot of fun. Now I sleep in the back of my suburban with a twin size mattress. We take our generators to power the boat chargers. I would rather do that than spend the money for a hotel room. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

I really just got tired of giving up the price but not being able to get my boat near my room. It's a compromise.

What a coincidence! WE also have a friend who has a summerhouse on Grand, so no tent then! It's almost like a vacation. Right down the street from Martin's Landing.

I do all the time, but the back of my pickup is a fully equipped camper w/air, stove, shower, bathroom, TV, Microwave, fridge, and wet bar. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

Now back in the day, I slept in the back of my 1/2 ton pickup w/a topper on the back.....

Years ago, we used to take the truck to the drive in show, we would throw on some air cushions and fall asleep watching the movies ...
