This guy is pretty cool wid his a frame..My own camping gear evolution over about 50 years on the trail:
truck front/back seat;
sleep on ground in open;
ground tent;
back packing gear;
Alaskan Camper ("it goes up it goes down");
series of ever longer RV trailers;
23' Chev B+ camper;
suitable roadside hotels & brothels depending.....
The most fun/most comfortable was the pleasant 20 years in the Alaskan, wearing out a series of pickups in the journey.
Each has their advantage. Yes we miss 'camping out'; no we don't miss the crowds, the damnable expense, the wide spread demand for reservations, sometimes A YEAR ahead!; and again, the cost. While we had dedicated & decent quality gear, gassing up & heading for the coast was costing right at $100 not counting eating out etc.
Retired from that aspect of 'camping' and now trying other modes of outdoorsy stuff.
I've been eyeballing those hard wall A-frame trailers lately...
