Remember when camping meant throwing a sleeping bag in a tent and roughing it for a weekend? Those days are long gone. In this candid conversation, mother-daughter duo Jane and Bobbi Joy pull back the curtain on modern camping culture—from $300,000 or several millions, luxury motorhomes to the secret world of campground social dynamics.

The pair share laugh-out-loud stories from their extensive camping experiences, including the nightmare of paying $150 per night to camp beside train tracks so loud they couldn't hear themselves speak. They explore how camping has transformed from being seen as ”the poor people's vacation” to an expensive lifestyle choice, with glamping and high-end RVs changing the landscape entirely.

Beyond the practical aspects, Jane and Bobbi offer a fascinating glimpse into campground subcultures most people never knew existed. 

The episode doesn't shy away from the messier realities of camping life either—including a particularly memorable story from Dr. Domain about a ”chocolate fountain” disaster involving an RV's black water tank that will have you both laughing and cringing. Through personal anecdotes and practical insights, they paint a picture of camping that's far more complex than the Instagram-perfect images suggest.

Whether you're a seasoned camper, considering buying an RV, or just curious about this evolving American tradition, this episode offers an unfiltered look at what camping truly entails today—both the freedom and beauty it provides, and the unexpected challenges that come with it.
