Well, life is full of choices.  I don't smoke, and my drinking is limited to a beer or two on occasion.  Luxury is defined by the one who luxuriates.  I could choose Fiamma.  The ease of using what I have and being self reliant in doing so is why I choose this particular form of luxury.  But then I have never spent a night in an RV park, either.

I'm glad you like what you have.

I realize there are set ups similar to what we have sold in kit form by some of the online vendors, and those are likely good devices.  EZ Up is one, I think.  But I did it myself, and like it fine.
