About Glampabout.com

A comfortable alternative to camping and RV travel

Glampabout is built around a simple idea: travel comfortably without relying on an RV. Modern portable gear makes it possible to create a flexible setup that delivers many of the same benefits while avoiding the cost, maintenance, and limitations of a large vehicle.

The term “glampabouting” reflects this approach. It combines the comfort of glamping with the mobility of traveling light. Instead of committing to a single vehicle-based system, gear can be selected and adjusted based on each trip.


What This Site Covers

This site focuses on practical ways to build a comfortable travel setup using portable equipment. Topics include:


Why This Approach Works

Traditional RV travel offers convenience but comes with tradeoffs. It requires significant upfront cost, ongoing maintenance, storage, and limits access to certain locations. Glampabouting provides an alternative that maintains comfort while improving flexibility.

By using modular equipment, travelers can scale their setup depending on the trip. Short trips can remain simple, while longer stays can include additional comfort features such as power, refrigeration, and expanded living space.


About Walkabout Travel Gear, owner of Glampabout.com

Walkabout Travel Gear began in 1995 as an early online travel gear business. It has focused on practical, real-world solutions for travelers, with an emphasis on simplicity, portability, and long-term usability.

Glampabout extends that approach by focusing on modern portable systems that can be used on their own or alongside RV travel. Some travelers combine both methods, using portable gear to expand comfort and flexibility beyond what an RV alone provides.
