Went camping this past weekend and ours was the only B in the campground. No C's, 1 5th wheel and a couple of Travel Trailers. The majority where pop ups and tents.

We have to report the same thing. Large state park with a bit of everything but it looks like we were the only B. We did notice more tent campers taking electric sites however. We chose non electric.

You mean future B owners.

From time to time we've counted the different types of RVs & trailers we've seen on a trip (usually just counted for a day), and Bs are definitely in the minority. Guess you guys are just extra special.

Park we were in was packed full for the weekend. Lots of Class A's and C's then 5th's and Trailers. I only saw one B+. Roads were crowded with RVs and again a lot of Class A's and 5th's and trailers. A few c's and I saw only one B all weekend (we were heading home yesterday and passed it). Don't think I had seen as many A's out on previous weekends. The park also had a few pop up's including a couple beautifully restored Shasta's and a couple Airstreams (older but in fantastic condition). Weather was really nice here with highs around +30 (90's f) for friday and saturday. Sunday was still warm but it rained lightly all morning and cleared off around noon and then it was back to 30 and very humid. Yesterday was nice with temps a little cooler for the drive home. Today it is a lot cooler with temps overnight down to 11 and high so far of 21 (70). Will be heading off again in a few days and weathers supposed to warm up again, will see.

On second thought I did see a couple more B's travelling together.... on a flat deck trailer... but yes B's are always in the minority.

headed over to Leavenworth for the Labor Day weekend (for our 40th), we were the only B in the 1000 Trails CG. There were lots of RV's on the road heading from western WA to eastern WA but no B's.

There are 5 Bs in the private campground just outside the main gates at Zion. I've talked to two of the owners. We were 14 days in California and often were the only B. Interestingly, we attended a wedding at a Buddhist Retreat Center high in the Santa Cruz mountains and another B owner showed up. Tent camping seems more popular out west here. I think because there is way less rain and no morning dew dampness to contend with as in the east.

We just finished a 13 day trip. We saw lots of Bs in our travels. Mostly PWs and RTs. I traveled SE BC and Alberta.

The most Bs we ever saw at a CG was in Utah (I believe). There were actually 3 others besides ours. Can't think of the city, off hand.

Edited: It was Green River...

Generally, it's just us.

Bs are always scarce here in Maine, and I do keep my eyes open looking for them! Lots and lots of 5th wheels, then trailers. Not so many Class As either. Maybe because of the short season and colder nights even in the summmer?
