If I recall ... you Pin Project guys are in some sort of truck camper rig? Maybe a UNIMog or something similar?

So, when you "wild camp", it's not quite the same as what Moto riders deal with. You guys just pull over, crawl in the back, fire up the SAT TV or DVD and cook dinner. Lock the Doors and Windows and sleep tight, good night.

Even in my 20's I did not Wild Camp much in Mexico or Central America when riding on a bike... too crowded, too dangerous too uncomfortable. Dangerous? Yes, I knew of travelers who were killed Wild Camping ... and several robbed too.

S. America camping is a bit better, in fact Southern Chile and Argentina are good camping if right time of year. But in a UNImog, doesn't matter if it's minus 10C outside.
Crank up the heat!

Like Cholo, I no longer camp much and stopped Van camping back in the 1970's. (VW Camper Van) But now, when on my bike, I mostly find Hostels, Hotel, Pension type accommodation. This requires good planning and timing and can sometimes mean you're stuck somewhere with no where to sleep. It happens.

And you're certainly correct, just like camp grounds ... Hotels and Pensiones are really inconsistent regards quality, good or bad.

But thanks to HUBB, it's much better than 30 years ago when you were really on your own. Now, I can post up on HUBB and ask specifics about a certain country, town or City or SEARCH and find good feed back.

Amazing what is here on HUBB!

IMO, the $6 should go to Grant and Susan for keeping HUBB up and running and providing a mobile archive and travel agency via internet to keep travelers in touch with the situation on the ground ... and of course, each other.
In this sense, HUBB is, IMO, under utilized ... and under appreciated.
