    For us, it's either Scamping or Spydering. This time, being gone for 2 months and wanting to eliminate the cost of hotels, we are Scamping.

    Haven't you left the Country yet?
    Geez...

    So is that a 16' Scamp?
    Which floorplan?
    Deluxe, or standard model?
    What options did you outfit it with?

    This is probably my last post for awhile, but no we're still in the good ol' USA. Takes awhile to cross Wyoming, S. Dakota, Minnesota to where we'll be crossing the border.

    It's a 2003 16' Side Dinette (SD) Deluxe that I bought off eBay in 2008. I've since added a second f.w. tank and tank monitoring system, an Arrow hitch, aluminum boxes on the back to accommodate the relocated battery, plus all the ramps, chocks, cranks, hookups cables, etc. An aluminum box on the front for the Honda 2000i, an electronic ignition hot water tank, outside shower, aluminum ladder and upgraded the 13" bias ply tires to 14" radials on aluminum rims.

    It already had the awning, a/c, front toilet and shower, twin propane tanks. We leave the rear dinette in the bed configuration. It's been a nice setup for us, particularly since we used to do a lot of boondocking in the western wilderness areas.

    My kid is interested in the 13 foot version...
    He figures that he can easily tow it with his AWD Infinity. (G37)

    Perhaps. I got the Scamp to tow easily with our Honda Odyssey, which has 3500# towing capacity. I figured at 1800# dry weight, the 16' Scamp would be no issue. I didn't count on that being without the a/c, awning, propane, etc. As presently configured, I have 1200# on each wheel and 450# on the hitch.

    Carrying that much weight on the nose should make it tow pretty steady.

    That, and the Arrow no-sway hitch has eliminated any concerns and problems we had with it when we first got it.

    Default Celebrating a week in Canada

    We crossed the border into Canada a week ago today at International Falls in Minnesota.

    The first night we had a reserved spot at a provincial park and two nights ago we were at a lovely private campground (Camping Horizon) east of St. Jerome, Quebec. We had one night at a small provincial park in Rossport, right on the shores of Lake Superior.

    The other nights have been boondocking, either at a host private property (2 nights), or on public lands. The night at Scenic High Falls in Wawa was amazing. Last night we pulled off the highway near Saguenay, Quebec and camped on a forest road. The only other person we've seen here is a guy picking wild raspberries.

    People have been great everwhere we go.

    I will post pictures once we have a free internet connection.

    We spent last night boondocking in a beautiful public rest area on the river south of Saguenay. People just pull off the road onto the lawn here and camp. It's not a problem and it's not crowded although it's a weekend. Amazing.
