I've camped on the road before, just never purchased a tent of my own. Sure, I'd rather have the shower, etc, but I'm CHEAP and usually broke. I've been caught in a few remote places I couldn't find a motel (or any vacancies, like the Keweenaw Peninsula at the start of hunting season... duh!) where camping equipment would have seriously saved the day.

$550+ new. Probably still out of my price bracket used. Not sure what I expected, I knew these things were expensive...

Eh, I enjoy planning my routes under a lantern the night before a ride, anyway. My road atlas and intuition haven't let me down yet.
