Oh, I'm ROFL! I think rally glamping is a hobby for some people. I like rallies, because I like to meet the people behind the trailers. Last summer I carried a ton of stuff cross country that I thought was necessary stuff, not for rallies but for camping. My last few trips, I've trimmed it down to bare necessities. We did two rallies last summer and at one, my son and I spent three hours helping a single lady pack up and load all of her glamping stuff into her F-250 and she was in a T@B. And I read the TCT FB page but I rarely comment. |

Well I think glamping is fine if that is your thing, I personally don't care how much stuff anyone carries along to dress up their campsite and draw attention to their trailer, but I have trouble transporting the things I need to be comfortable without damaging something so I wonder if some of these people have a moving van to haul the stuff to and from without breaking it. I have to admit that I am way to lazy to do all the work of unpacking,setting up, tearing down, and repacking all that extra stuff. Some of it is really cool and some is ridiculous in my opinion but I realize my opinion doesn't count if we all enjoyed the exact same thing this would be a boring world. It is a lot like how you finish the inside of your trailer some like paint some like natural wood, me I would just like to have mine finished ready to take camping.

SuzyQ is right. There are a fair number of folks (both men and women) who go to a rally as a form of entertainment. The locations of some of the rallys make them not really camping, but then in many ways, neither is staying at a KOA. It was a little hard for us to understand at first as our long previous lives as backpackers taught us to take only the bare necessities. But when we saw how much fun these folks were having, we just figured it was something we would never fully understand. We have only been able to go to one rally. We did have fun passing out freshly baked (in our oven) chocolate chip cookies, but we didn't have any doodads either inside our outside the trailer. It just wouldn't suit Hamlet, he's not a glamping kind of guy.

Hamlet, not even a nice tree urinal?
That's one gorgeous red trailer you got there 71, and I don't consider any of the stuff outside glamping, even if it is all color-coordinated.
