Build your own glampout, make tent camping more comfortable, and get RV-style comfort without owning an RV.
Glampabouting means building your own comfortable setup with reusable gear and taking it from campground to campground. If you already tent camp, you can make it far more comfortable. If you like the idea of glamping, you can create your own glampout instead of paying for a furnished stay every time. And if you like RV-style comfort but not the cost, size, storage, and maintenance of an RV, Glampabouting gives you another way to travel.

Walkabout Field Notes
Glampabouting grew out of real-world travel experience. For over twenty years, my wife and I ran Walkabout Travel Gear, one of the first internet businesses. During that time, we used an RV extensively as both transportation and a mobile base of operations.
When we closed the business and retired, we sold the RV. Returning to the road later, we brought with us a clear understanding of what RV travel offers — and what it costs. RVs bring comfort, but they also mean maintenance, storage, fuel, insurance, campsite restrictions, and the constant reality of operating a large vehicle.
Glampabouting is the result of that experience. It uses modern portable camping gear to recreate RV-style comfort while keeping the freedom, flexibility, and smaller footprint of a normal vehicle and a standard tent campsite.
