We are in our 2nd Coleman p/u camper - 1st was 8', this one is 10'. We love it! It does have AC, but we hardly ever have to use it. If you camp in national parks and a lot of national forests, they do not have electric for running the AC anyway. It usually cools down at night enough for sleeping. As far as heat, just get a little portable electric heater or we also have a small heater for campers that runs on the cans of propane. It works good for taking the chill off. Cabelas.com is a good source for your porta-potti as well as other camping supplies and also Campmor.com. Lots and lots of good camping all over - go to national park and national forest web sites as well as each state's web sites for their state parks. We hardly every stay in commercial campgrounds because the state and national parks are so much prettier, less expensive, and the sites are bigger. Mostly, just get out there and have fun and enjoy!!

I'm a hard-core camper.
I strap everything on my back and walk out into the wilderness. When I'm away from my computer, that's what I want to be -- AWAY from my computer. And maybe it's all my years in the back country, but when I go to those RV campgrounds, I can't find any peace. Lots of people, lots of activities. That's good if that's what you want, but even if I had to work there, I doubt I could concentrate.

I'm a backpacker and winter camper.
I've even had frostbite before I learned how to stay warm. I buy my socks from REI.com. (Sometimes can find the same brands cheaper at places like Campmor.com and SierraTradingPost.com)

There's a good selection, and you can read the descriptions for each. The socks I buy keep my feet warm while I hike ten miles in the snow. You might not need that level of warmth! Also, they are kind of pricey. Good luck!
