Chris:

Excellent and comprehensive article. I too joined the dark side with an RV that I use as a base camp for quite a few activities including fishing.

I offer one addition to your article - truck campers. These are also called slide in campers and come in both hard side and soft side (pop-up) styles. Because they are on a pickup truck, you can get into some areas that the average RV cannot. My rig is a Toyota Tacoma with a Four Wheel Camper Fleet popup on the back. It is fully off-road capable.

I use it year round. I spent last winter fishing all winter long, fly fishing the Mississippi in Minnesota and ice fishing the local lakes. The RV allowed me to put on my waders in comfort before going out into the 20 degree weather.

Thanks again for a great article.
