Go for it. I got back into camping 6 years ago when DD bought me a tent for fathers day. Had camped for years but had gotten away from it. I had to update a lot of gear. Now I can't go enough. Good luck in whatever you do.
I have a popup, a motorhome and about 5-6 tents....I love them ALL!....When I bought the mptorhome 2 months ago, my 11 y.o. daughter nearly cried LOL!...She thought that we would no longer use the tents or the popup....We leave in 9 days for a trip to Oregon with our tent...She's a happy camper!
I also am planning a trip to Oregon on the Oregon Trail. We'll probably get to Oregon in mid August. How often do you Oregon travelers expect to have rain in the summer? Other than sealing the horizontal tent seams (as a minimum) with Seam Grip or equal and keeping the ground tarp from extending out from under the tent (ie if it's larger turn the edges of ground tarp under the tent) what other rain precautions do you take?
I used to tent camp and really missed it. Moved to South Fla. and tent camped once in late May w/DW who was prego..way too hot...Bought a used Pop Up which I loved..still had the tent feel with the a/c to sleep well at night. 2 Kids later the Pop Up was too small and loading it up prior to and after trips was a pain. Now we have a TT that has many of the comforts of home (not quite all). As for tent camping..we bring along a tent and if and when its cool enough down here I love it. Back to the basics. Now a days with the huge 2 room tents,air matresses and portables a/c units tent camping can really be comfortable and alot less expensive. Like previous poster said...towing a boat instead of a TT would be nice too..
