Serious problem

Ok folks, since we purchased our Salem, all I want to do is go camping. Seriously. If I sit at the computer I start searching for campgrounds, site's to visit, plugging in destinations and seeing how many miles away they are and calculating how much time we need to get there.
Help - the struggle is real.
When people start talking, my mind wanders to beaches and sunsets and looking forward to the lower temps this fall with two trips planned to the mountains.
Good thing I am not a pilot lol!!!
oh well time for work.........

Welcome to the addiction. The only cure is camping.

I understand that there is a 12 step program for your problem, but no one wants to join in, we just want to go camping

There is no problem...as long as you haven't run out of dough yet!

When I wrote the above words ~ I honestly meant no disrespect towards HappyCamper134, after all ~ I just recently dropped out of the work force and know what it's like to set and look at the monitor & dream of camp grounds and travels far away. It took us almost a year due to what's called 'Winter' up here to get things the way we wanted them.

I apologize and want to send out a Welcome to the group to HappyCamper134, hoping each and every trip is nothing but great times and loads of fun!

This reminds me of the guy who said he was a "Drunk". Friend said it was more PC to call himself an "Alcoholic". Guy said "No, Alcoholics have to go to all those meetings".

I solved my 'buying problem". I bought a smaller TT that came with just about everything one can get on it from the factory. Already had the "gadgets" from my old trailer. Now I just buy gas to tow it from one place to another. Just waiting for all the Schools to re-open so there's more room on the road and in campgrounds for RV's.

I love winter camping.

Hey guys / gals no need to apologize no worries here at all!!!
Really enjoy this forum - we are blessed to be able to take the trips we do take. Cruise coming up in September, and fall camping trips planned for October and November (long weekends both). We are blessed to live where we can be in the Smoky's in a couple of hours and to Myrtle Beach in about 4.5-5.0 (pulling the camper).
I do love to camp!!!

Lucky stiff! We quit the yearly trek to MB because it took so long... one LONG day was too hard on DW's nerves with the furkids, so we took 2 days each way. That was with pulling a trailer. I'm thinking I can do the trip in one day now with the moho.
