...even the terms we use today are becoming clouded, as 'boondocking' may not mean what it 'used to', or 'camping', either. Some will say that you're not really 'camping' if you are in anything other than a tent.
Of course, many of those in tents are next to us in campgrounds, plugging in their coolers, radios, fans, tvs, device chargers, and all sorts of things that make us 'feel good' while camping.
Some will say that you're not really 'boondocking' if you are expecting to use your microwave, or satellite tv, etc... though most of us who 'boondock' are really just overnighting between destinations. Maybe we should just rename it 'parkinglotting' since it may be at W*mt, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.

That's why the term 'RVing' encompasses so many different 'ways' of traveling, parking, staying, overnighting, and all the other types of using your time away from home. : )

(even some will disagree that the term 'RVing' includes all types of 'rvs', as in their mind it only applies to motorized RVs, and not trailers... oh, well.)


We all like to label things. And some like to 'pigeon hole' those who have been labeled.

Enjoy! : )
