This thread is funny!
We are not Glampers yet, but working hard to become...
Long way to go. Can't wait.

Glamping, Camping, what ever you want to call it. If I am enjoying it and relaxing I don't care what name it has.

This weekend at the Bash 4 will definitely be glamping.
Daily happy hours, fine Hors d'oeuvres, and adult beverages -- not really roughing it.

If I use fabric placemats and real napkins (with napkin rings), does that qualify as glamping?

All this talk makes me ache to go camping NOW! I mean, glamping. Three weeks to go til we hit the road next.

Kim met me in the driveway with a cold beer when I got home today in our 90 degree weather to tell me the Overlander's Bay Breeze A/C had shut off a half-hour earlier while she & the Boyz were stocking it with food & clothes for this weekend's trip.
The A/C's breaker was found to be tripped. After resetting it, cool returned to the Overlander. But 20 minutes later, the A/C stopped again.
For various reasons, I suspect the breaker is going bad as opposed to a problem with the Bay Breeze. So, the breaker box was re-wired to swap the A/C's wire to a different breaker. Hanging my ammeter on the circuit, the A/C was found to be pulling ~12 amps; Armstrong's specs specify a current draw of 11.7 amps. Close enough. Several hours later, the Airstream was still cool inside.
The problem now is that the bad breaker is now associated with the outlet used to power the electric skillet used to cook our breakfast hashbrowns. We may have to give up "glam-camping" breakfast on the trip since the bad breaker was made by a now defunct company. No worries, though - our outdoor, 14-inch, cast-iron skillet & burner had already been lined up to go with us for a chicken-rollup meal.
The plan is still a GO for this weekend's trip.

I may only have the plywood floor down and the bulkheads are still out - but I purchased the parrot (for the wall) and bath mat for the bathroom months ago.

To me, Glamping is having the most over-the-top setup in the campground.
Humm, reminds me of a song...
Kris Kristofferson via John Prine
'... everybody's got to have somebody to look down on.
Who they can feel better than at anytime they please...If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me.'
But I might be wrong.

Umm glamping yes indeed would you still sleep on rocks in the freezing cold if you did not have to?
Been there, done that, now super happy to sleep in a nice bed in our gorgeous airstream with lots of amenities...

The AS is a compromise that works for both of us.

Ditto
And besides not liking sleeping in the ground - she likes to camp in summer but hates sleeping when that hot....AC is nice
