Tents vs. RVs: CBC listeners debate the best way to camp

Roughing it: 5 luxury items for camping creature comforts

Heading into the Victoria Day long weekend, the St. John's Morning Show asked listeners how they prefer to spend some time in the great outdoors: camping in a tent or in a recreational vehicle (RV).

The question struck a nerve with those who tuned in. So dozens took to social media to debate both sides.

Some were quick to tout the comforts of sleeping in an RV.

While others felt pitching a tent brings them closer to nature.

However, another listener thinks having kids ruins the tranquility of the tenting experience.

But then again, tenting is cheaper — which means more cash for the bare necessities.

Another listener thinks those who use an RV to experience nature are really just moving the suburban lifestyle to a different place.

Others think the tenters are simply in denial about just how uncomfortable it really is.

Finally, some listeners have given up on both methods, opting instead for something a little more luxurious.
