Be sure to get your "Senior Pass" if you don't have one. You can camp at federal campgrounds for half price. And you can ride through Yellowstone for free.
Hmm, just some associative thinking here:Good point, Paul. I'm guessing that we'll use a lot of primitive campsites.

Key word here is "primitive"......Hmm, just some associative thinking here:
1. Primitive campgrounds = no showers.
2. Phil and Rick wear banana suits.
3. They are riding long distances in warm to hot weather.
Note to Self: Stay Upwind when visiting with the Dynamic Duo....
Sorry, buddy, but getting up on a cold dreary rainy winter morning and watching everyone else have to go to work while you go back to bed beats even the senior pass!!!!!I have three Senior Passes. It's cheaper to buy another one than to pay the fee for RMNP when I forget and leave the pass in one of our other vehicles. Now I've got one in my car, one in Joanne's car, and one on the NT.
The Senior Parks Pass is the single greatest benefit to growing old.
Riding is fine but...when we had the Travel Trailer we were "destination" campers going to some type of event that might last several days. During event down time the tent / RV is your only home and as much as you might want to ride sometimes that just won't work with event schedules and locations...Yes, if you were stuck in a 1p or 2p tent all day while it was raining would suck - why aren't you riding.
True, that is why I kept the comparison to the NT/ST on the 2P versus 4P as I can haul a lot more now...not that I want to haul a lot of "stuff" I have to keep track of... I found RV camping to be like most other things...it tended to increase in size, complexity and weight just because it could...You have a different bike now.. so, you have some options for packing that the rest of us don't...
The key is practice... I can put mine up in I don't know... 3-4 mins and maybe faster if I was rushing.. let's say 5 mins if I was taking my time and not in a rush.. 5 mins is a pretty long time.My question is approximately much how longer, on average, would it take the average person, working alone, to put up something like the Marmot Halo 4P versus your tent... That is assuming I'm a little bit faster than Phil...and it isn't dark, raining, and my headlights are burned out....
Now that you have said it, you just HAVE to make a blindfolded camp set-up video, dudeafter about 3 days I think I could put my tent up blindfolded. Oh great, another youtube video.
We'll see.. wouldn't be that bad actually.Now that you have said it, you just HAVE to make a blindfolded camp set-up video, dude
