Re: Taking the plunge -- First Time Tent Camping
You just went thru the learning process most, if not all, of us have gone through. The wife always has a "medical kit" with us that included items she thought might come in handy. And she was right. We also always had cards,small board type games to entertain the kids and adults.
We went for years in a tent, first canvas then later nylon. When the budget allowed we "upgraded" to a 10ft Jayco pop up and used it for 10 years or so. We now pull a 21ft hybrid. It has the pull out beds like a pop up, but the amenities of a regular hardsided RV. For us it is the best compromise of the two worlds. A regular RV can be warm, or force you to run the AC on marginal days while the "tent" flap beds of the hybrid allow you to open up.
At any rate, use your tent for a while to see if you go enough to warrant the expense of something more comfortable. I do remember trying to craw out of a tent with out stepping on the kids or wife. They tend to get upset when you do! Enjoy your future camping experiences.
