I have slept in the TT this past weekend just to have that camp ground feeling. I am widening our driveway so that the TT can rest next to our carport. I have the 30a plug ready and water on that side of the house, I may have to put in a clean-out for the sewer line one day..
This will be my home at home.. A place away from the kids and wife..LOL
Saturday morning number one son is knocking on the door to let him in. he wants to know how long I have been up and in the camper. I told him I slept the night here and he was like I wanted to also. So tonight we are camping in the driveway. I will move TV out there tonight though, it was quiet without a TV running.
I have it bad.. I want to go camping!!! and not in my driveway..

We are camping in the drive this weekend also.  Even though it will be cold with a chance of rain.  It was the kids idea.  So with the heater and heated matchress pads and sleeping bags we should be cozy enough.  There is so little time left to camp here in the north country.:(

We camp in our driveway alot.  When I cannot get enough time off to go to a campground, we will spend Saturday night in our camper.  We will make jiffy-pop popcorn & watch a rented movie.  I also use this time to do repairs or plan/install modifications to the camper.  If I had a TT, I too would use it as a next door "second home" .  Maybe someday, but for now our pop-up fits us best.

We have "camped" in the driveway twice.  Once was to check how the furnace worked and the other time the kids wanted sleep out there.  I didn't really like it, because we have to much traffic noise in the mornings here.  What I do like is BYC :p .  Back Yard Camping at my DM house.  She has several acres of property with a small field, stream and a mountain side to play on.  :S

A guest cottage in the driveway is great!  I've done that.  Sometimes I have just gone out to sit in the popup and pretend to be in a campground.  It's a good place to read.....so quiet.

Last year my wife and I got to camp in our driveway while my parents stayed in our room.  What a great trip!

Well, I don't actually camp in the driveway, but I do go sit in the trailer from time to time, especially if I want to be left alone, or hide from everyone! Only trouble with that is, they know where to come looking for me!!!! ;)

Been there-done that! Thought we were the only "crazy" ones to camp in our driveway. Wew! What a relief!
    We weren't able to camp this weekend, so Sunday afternoon we drove to our favorite SP campground (Lake Texana SP- only 30 minutes away), took a cooler and lawn chairs and sat in one of our favorite sites for several hours. It was a "pretend" camp time and a great way to get a small camping fix. :S
