The kids slept in a tent while we slept in the van when we went out west, and it worked fine (although again, you lose some of that mobility around movement when you have to pack up a tent) but that doesn't work in SE FL.
which is part of how I'm arriving at the idea of a larger unit. The benefit of the B is the easy of parking/moving/etc. and being more mobile in general, but that small size comes at a cost. I could buy a van, minimally fit it out for our local beach trips and other tailgating outtings where we love having the B (having it at shooting matches has been awesome!) and then do a larger RV for actual camping. either having an A/super-c to be able to have a toad, or a 5th-wheel/toy-hauler and the toy vehicle becomes the runaround.
I'd like to stay places longer too (which my wife doesn't agree with, but whatever) and there again parking the B for a week starts to get old.
