    I only have an old industrial unit. Not very quiet. I thought you'd be getting a Genny to compliment your fancy trailer

    We went camping on the family day weekend, we just went to Tunnel mountain. I hate the campground but they stay open year round and it's close to Banff so lots to do. I may go to Maclean this weekend.

    That looks awesome. How are they in the winter? I know my parents love to go in the summer but they dont have huge fires or stay up much past 830/900. I know that is why I typically try to ignore it.

    I love that with a $15 cab ride you can go into town for drinks one night! Also the free firewood is nice too.
    It's pretty good, only the main shower rooms are open the other bathrooms are closed, but we had power and lots of firewood so we had a fire every night. We actually use the bus service into town, not sure how late it runs but it stops right in the campground and runs quite often. We have a kid so not too much bar-hopping for us.

    The campground itself is like no other I've ever seen, it's essentially a paved parking lot and you just pull up beside your picnic table and that's your spot. Absolutely no privacy between spots. It's draw isn't the campsite it's the proximity to Banff but It was sure nice to get out after a long winter and it was pretty decent that weekend. We went for a nice hike along lake Minnewanka.

    It's a bit tougher for us with a Truck Camper, they get pretty small when you start spending more time inside. Not usually something we notice in the summer because we are outside so much but there's just 3 of us so we like it.

    I had a big 34' fifth wheel but got sick of the hassle of hauling it around, the camper is small but it's just so easy and stress free.

    My neighbour has a sprinter that he converted into a camper. Pretty nice looking unit.

    Those sprinters are pretty expensive when kitted out like that, although you can take it to all kinds of nice spots like this:

    You are the king of avatar trolling. Or is that just an updated Vettel picture?

    Once you own such a big fancy trailer like Cos' it's probably just smart to own a generator, or how will he ever camp crown land again.

    I already have access to an 'industrial' one that I bought half with my brother in law. It was hidden behind the trailer and we were at the next campsite and I couldnt take the noise.
    problem solved
