If I had started in tent, my dw would never made it to a mh. We started "camping" in a new Pace Arrow. My DW idea of roughing it is staying at a Holiday Inn.

I not only started in a tent but got a $25000 trade in for mine.

When looking at the model MH we eventually bought at an RV show the salesman asked if we had a trade-in. I said yes, if we could get $25000 for it we would buy. Told him my trade was a "Hillary". He ask what a Hillary was. Told him it was a three man model. He laughed.

Two weeks later they came down $25000 on the "Show special" price. (They even let me keep the tent, still have it)

We started in a tent - Cub Scouts with our son.
That 1st campout was the last we saw Mom for a looooooooong time.
She said her minimum camping equipment now included a 36'+ MH. and indoor plumbing.
I continued the tent camping and now:
1) my son just passed his Eagle Board of Review
2) my wife is happy in a 36' MH
3) my back doesn't hurt from the rocks
4) our tents have found new homes ... far, far away.
5) we're all
