We are planning to get a 5th wheel soon and was wondering what are some of your family traditions as you plan, travel, and camp?



For example, when we tent camped in Germany, Italy, and Switzerland (I'm in the military), we made it a point to sit outside to watch the sunset at each location. Thanks for any pointers or sharing of your family traditions.

Firewood scouting first thing after getting set up going to all the empty sites looking for fire wood that was abandoned and if we stay until Monday we make another trip around to the empty sites Sunday night looking for abandon firewood.

Eggs, bacon and biscuits for breakfast (we eat much healthier at home).

Making marshmallow torches in the fire.

Marathon sessions of Uno or trivia games when it rains and there are no interesting inside places to visit.
