I think you missed the point and maybe there is some sort of misunderstanding.
I am not in a UNIMOG or mega truck. I am travelling in a Toyota camper van with a bed and a kitchen. We dont even have a toilet inside.. and if you think that its not important for the guys, ask my partner who is traveliving 6 years non-stop WITHOUT a toilet!
To be honest, the article is about a fair price for what is offered to ALL OVERLANDERS in an organized campground.
Obviously, I mentioned dry camp/ bush camp/ wild camp for the sake of my analysis BUT the main point was what we expect and what we deserve as OVERLANDERS in an organised campground.
We personally have met overlanders on motorbikes who have a golden membership on Booking.com and pre-book almost all their stays BUT they carry super expensive/technical travel gear & equipment just for the night they will wild camp or they will stay in an organised campground.
Plus, the common picture I have experienced all these years of travelling is heavy-loaded motorbikes with camping equipment. If you take out sleeping bags, tents, air mattresses, portable stoves, cooking equipment etc. then you definitely have more space! Plus, you save some good money for this private room!
Definitely a motorbike equipment cannot be compared with the one in a camper van BUT somehow you are self-contained as well and you can enjoy some well being in an organized campground -or even one night in the bush.
I am not arguing or fighting back.. I am just trying to have a constructive discussion in one of the biggest overlanders' forum.
Plus, I tried to write up something funny, of course with some generalizations, for the sake of humor that would provoke some laughs, ideas and so on.. No hard feelings, no arguments..
After all, we are at the same boat, no?
