One of the negatives with a class B is no toad or tow vehicle to use when leaving the campsite to drive to a trail head. So you need to break camp every time. The positive is that you have your bathroom, lunch, and all needed stuff with you at the trail head. To make life easier we don’t bother to stow our electrical cord, leveling blocks, door mat, campfire wood, etc. and leave them behind for a few hours while hiking. Well, today we got back to the campsite at Kouchibouguac National Park in New Brunswick, Canada and all the mentioned stuff was stolen. The park is full and is gated. Not a huge expense to replace, but a big bother to report to camp warden, talk to police, then go shopping to find replacements.
So we are interested in your experience. Do you pack up all these things when leaving a campsite for a few hours? I am thinking I could use a chain to padlock the electrical cord to the breaker box post when leaving the site multiple times on a 1-week stay.
