We use ours to camp when we're travelling to sail somewhere. It works well in general. One thing that's a hassle is getting on and off the boat. Many times I carry a ladder, put it on the side and enter through the cockpit. Other choices: the front trailer ladder--not the best because one has to cross the deck from the bow to the stern with all the tripping hazzards; the rear boarding ladder--not too bad but the M has a rather small entry at the transom, the X is better in that respect.

I haven't camped in mine...yet. But like BB2000 I use a step ladder to get in/out of the cockpit. I normally keep the ladder bungeed vertically to the trailer ladder while trailering unless it is a long trip then I stuff it inside my SUV.

Looking forward to a camping adventure eventually.
