Get Out. Get Friendly
|
We were camped at a military park in Texas during the winter and found ourselves next to a couple from our own state of NH. These folks were relatively new to RVing. They commented on how seldom they see folks with big rigs sitting outside and were surprised at how much time we spent outside. Since we come from a northern state where sitting outside is only done in the limited warmer months, we were in our glory sitting outside in December.
Our motorhomes, trailers and fifth wheels are now so plush and jammed with creature comforts that sitting inside is just like being at home. I remember our first 16 foot trailer. It had no comfortable place to sit. We only used it during the summer months, so sitting outside was the only choice. Now we have a 36 foot motorhome with a slide and lots of comfortable space inside. We still sit outside.

The Evolution of a Camper
|
Some of us started camping in a tent way back when and made a gradual change to bigger and bigger campers. This story by Cliff Maurand covers his theory of evolution. Whenever you stop by an RV dealership, the sales representative is sure hoping that you are ready to make the move up to something bigger. Many of us still carry some items left over from our early days. Cliff has the lantern used by his Dad when they were in a tent. I still have the Tupperware salt and pepper shakers from my family tenting days. They still work. |
