It's cool, bcp just wants to do the same thing on vacation as he does at home -- sit on the couch and scratch his balls.

Most of your tow behind toy haulers either a queen bed fold up or say 2 lay down couches fold up and you can put in the 'toy' area.
Or, you just put it in the bed of the truck :shrug:

The way I see it, If I just wanted to sit and scratch my balls, a ship would be the perfect choice.
Instead I hike through the mountains, wander all around places like Yellowstone, Rocky mountain National Park, Grand Canyon,
This year I will stomp through the everglades, see Cape Canveral (and learn how to spell it) Stop at many beaches along the coast.. While camping I have skydived, snorkled, gone on whale watching excursions (Im sure you can find these on the decks of a ship too) Naturally, I can always slip behind a bush or something should my balls need scratching, so, some things never change.
Now, I could do all of that or I could sit in a bathtub looking at water for a week.
But like I said, Im sure the day will come that I just dont have the energy to do anything, and a cruise might be nice.

I can do all of this, too, except I don't have to be stuck behind a steering wheel for the three days it takes you to drive cross country. I can be enjoying my beverage (domestic of course) from the casino, a show, the dining room or my own private pool or spa. I could be getting a message or a facial. I could be relaxing on deck with a book. I could be sitting with vrai at the piano bar listening to jazz sounds enjoying the DoD (drink of the day).

Getting the cruise ship into Yellowstone is something that I think would be well worth seeing. I suppose with a cruise canoe you could get to the Grand Canyon.
and as I pointed out, im not a sit in a bar and listen to piano while sucking down the drink of the day. (as hard as it might be to believe, I dont usually drink at bars) I could read a book at home. Shows bore me to death, Went to one in New York years ago, I left after about 20 minutes, could not take it.
Different things I suppose. But, judging from the number of campers sold and the number of campgrounds vs the number of cruise ships,, I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest that maybe more people side with me on this one.
I'm all mathy and chit now so I'm going to realign your figures.
How many people on each ship x the number of cruises that sail each year = ?
Being neither here nor there, you are free to drive all over creation looking for a place to park so you can sit and drink beer. Other people don't enjoy that, and that's okay.

That. The full-size queen is on a platform that elevates vertically almost to the ceiling above the 'toy area' and there are also two convertible couch/single beds that fold up against the sides of the 'toy area'.
I fit two ATVs front to back or two bikes side by side. Regardless of which...there is no room to fold down the couches, BUT...with the toys all loaded the queen platform does drop down enough to climb up and sleep in it and there is a ladder to use for that. Just never have needed to; typically don't haul it more than about 12-13 hours to get where I'm going.

Hard to believe but, most places require reservations in advance to get a site. During the summer, its almost impossible to find places.

Just like a cruise ship -- my particular sailing for next year is wait listed for some cabins.
Waitlisted for some cabins means I can still get in on the cruise though right?
campgrounds usually fill all the way into their overflow spaces.
Camping is still more popular.

And there you have it.
Yep.
While Im sitting on some mountain top with a cup of coffee watching the sun come up, Ill think about you.
Chances are we will never run into each other on vacation.
