Nope. Home just the wife and I as we order pick up at noon. Then mid evening maybe to the older son for a sandwich and dessert.
Nope. We will be on the road, but not with our trailer.
Yes, I actually make a big feast. We like to give to all our neighbors in the park.
Will be home for Thanksgiving then head south to escape the coming winter months.
Yes we will and I have to say I thought the current percentage, 13, of yes responses was low. At any rate, we full-time so we will be celebrating in our RV. We are going to a new park so maybe they will have a community get together which would be fun.
No, not intentionally, anyway.
I’m Canadian, our Thanksgiving was last month. Please enjoy a safe and Happy Thanksgiving as well!
We finished camping October 15th. Our last outing is always with our best friends touring a part of the country none of us have seen. Then it is back to PA to prepare for the upcoming winter months. May everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and every other holiday until Spring and camping season reopens once again. God bless all.
That was our plan until our new litters due date was today. They arrived last night, one day early. Beautiful little daschunds looking just like their daddy in color.
Last year we did, we camped locally and family joined us for the day. It’s a family oriented holiday and it’s important for us to be with family, too many holidays are someone’s last.
I said no for the simple fact that we’ll go to Cracker B for the meal. But we will be thankful in our motorhome the other 22-23 hours.
We are at Bentsen Palm Village RV Resort in Mission, TX, and we will have a resort Thanksgiving dinner in the Resort Clubhouse.
We live west of Fort Worth and first time I have ever heard of this resort. Thank you for mentioning it.
In the shop again! Planning Christmas camping.
Going to the hill country and staying in Medina,Texas spending a non turkey day in Bandera watching the Cowboys. Hang out with the fur kids and go shopping in the backroads. If you have never been to the hill country in Texas during rut season, BE CAREFUL, lots of deer and bucks are crossing roads.. we are always back to the MC before sunset.
We are currently in Arizona, will have Thanksgiving dinner in park clubhouse.
We will be at the clubhouse at Ocala North RV Resort for a pot-luck Thanksgiving meal. Yum.
Not THIS year. But last year we were in Houston for a LONG time and it included Thanksgiving. We found frozen quail at a local Kroger market and decided to give it a try. I grilled them on the bbq and you know what? They were delicious. Small, of course, but good eatin’. There are quail farms down there that raise quail for, I guess, a large quail eating population. We had two each.
Alternate years we have spent Thanksgiving in our RV or in the RV of my in-laws while tailgating at a football game. This would be one of the “in-the-RV” years, but tailgating on Thanksgiving day is no longer allowed. So, we likely will be spending this and all future Thanksgivings in our home or that of my in-laws.
I wish! Several years ago we were in the rv. Had very tasty Cornish game hens done in the convection oven (first and only time its ever been used).
We are taking the motorhome up north, 3 hours to the in laws place. It’s near Fort Wayne Indiana. Will camp in the family’s drive way. We are excited to get away for a few days, even if it is only in a drive way! We winterized about a week ago, will dewinterize Wednesday and then re winterize when we get back home.
Although we are “at our sticks & bricks” home and will be eating there…we will be cooking in the RV – because the RV is the only place that has an actual oven to cook the turkey!
As a full timer, I will be in the RV, but I’m going to a local restaurant with a big thanksgiving buffet. Beats trying to cook Thanksgiving for one
Left RV at the campground and flew to East Coast. Rent an AirBnB and the kids and grandkids all come and stay and we cook Thanksgiving there. None of the kids have room to host.
That’s what we are doing, despite all the rain!
Several years ago, we had a seasonal site at a campground about 5 miles from home. They had closed for the season but the owner invited all us “seasonals” to a come for a covered dish Thanksgiving diner. They deep fried turkeys and we all had a blast. It really put us in mind of what the first Thanksgiving was probably like. Unfortunately that was a one time event because he died of a massive coronary two months later. Because of the “family” atmosphere, we all pitched in to help the wife reopen and run it the next spring till she could sell it. This is just one of the great memories we have camping over the past five plus decades.
Thanksgiving in the house – unless the power goes out – then will be in the RV.
Will be sleeping in RV but having the dinner in niece house with several other VAX family members.
Cracker Barrel, no cooking, no cleaning up and everything is included!
Have in the past. This year I’m glad I’m not as temps in SE Michigan have been dropping to near 20s overnight
as full timers that’s what we do in the RV every year.
It’s Tuesday, and we are halfway home (Maine to California) to celebrate with family. Because we had a flat tire, and generator trouble, and no heat, we won’t get there until Friday night. Thanksgiving has been moved to Saturday so everyone can be there.
Since my mothers death we have decided that the only holiday we celebrate is Halloween. It was one of the three favorites. Thanksgiving for me is just a blow off excuse and knock off excuse to just eat and get into it with family. So its like a nice long weekend for us. As for Xmas? No more exchanging gifts. Just make a lot of food for our two weeks off and do what ever. Happy Holidays.
