Which provides for a better camping experience: RVs or tent-camping?

Yes I definitely have to put my 2 cents on this one. I love camping and will continue to camp because of the memories I have of my childhood and the memories I want for my children. When I was growing up I had camping experiences with both of my parents in an RV, after they were divorced my father continued with the annual camping trip but we were using Tents and sleeping bags. I think of the memories I have of camping and remember before the divorce there is only one trip in the RV that can be recalled. This was the camping trip that was in California and we had to run into the RV and hide from a Bear that really enjoyed our popcorn that we were all sharing. Unfortunately, that is the only camping trip I remember from the RV era and that is the only part of the trip I remember. Then I sit back and think of all the times that me and my brother would slip out of the Tent in the post divorce camping trips and rub a branch against dads tent to see him run out to investigate to find his two sons laughing in the dirt. I can recall many times trying to hang a flashlight in the tent during a rain storm so we can all fit in the tent and see the cards that we were playing. I think that is the only time during Summer Vacation that me and my brother would wake up before the sun came up to get out fishing. I now realize while writing this that those were the only times that me, my brother and my father would stay together 24 hours a day without getting on each others nerves. Although I started writing this expecting to start saying things like, "save the environment" and "gas is too expensive" I now realize that if my father was able to keep the RV we would have watched TV, listened to Music, and ignored each other just like when we were home. With out those luxuries we were forced to spend time talking, playing games and enjoying each others company. It might have been hard for us to keep the Tent from smelling bad or keep our clothes dry the whole trip but believe me the relationship between the three of us is what came out of the tent and it has stayed strong even though we have not made that trip in 15 years. Now that states seperate all of us there are still times that I will sit there and enjoy the memories of our camping experiences and it always puts a smile on my face.
