Camping with NxStage

We have a small camper that we can pull behind our pickup (We did buy a bigger truck to be able to haul hundreds of pounds of dialysis supplies!!).
If I can figure out how to upload a picture, I will. It is somewhat cramped, but allows us to get around when we have the time.
I would love to hear other folks' stories about camping. I have read the threads on this topic so far.
Any new stories?

PS. Got the pictures attached. Now THAT wasn't so hard!

That looks like it works well.

We camp with a 1974 HI LO camper with the O-HI-LO club from May until October ever year. Our camper goes "up" on hydraulics. We have a great time. There is a toilet in the camper so I just drain my dialysis in there like I would if I were home. It's all wrapped up nice and comfy. Like you said...you have to have space to haul the supplies...we were gone for 8 days to Louisiana from Ohio and didn't have any problems. I always take "extra" so I'm safe not sorry.
