Shortly after my husband and I were married in 1969 (and blended our five children into a new family), he began regaling me with wonderful tales of “camping.” Having been a Girl Scout in my younger years, this wasn’t a foreign concept; however, I had trouble picturing myself living in a pup tent and cooking [...]

My wife and her sisters inherited a 1975 Ideal travel trailer when the in-laws got a newer trailer. My first time trailer camping we went to Ft Stevens on the Oregon Coast. When we first got there the wife and kids went exploring and I stayed at the trailer with the new dog. The mosquitos [...]

My First RV Trip began in 1945 when my brave parents bought a trailer. This adventure started when I was 9 months old, with the winter in Florida and spring in Mississippi, to check out this type of lifestyle – being new parents. Since we seemed to enjoy this lifestyle, the decision was made to [...]

In 1970 my wife and I purchased a 13 foot Shasta trailer. Our son was three. We decided to travel West to see my brother who was in the Air Force stationed in Nevada. Where the closet had been I put in a Monomatic toilet. We started packing for our trip and packed way too [...]

My husband and I did not travel with our parents and siblings as children but when we got married we started to travel as much as we could via car and motels. However, upon the arrival of 3 children of our own we realized that we would no longer be able to afford vacations unless [...]

I retired in 2008 and couldn’t wait to get on the road with our 37ft 5th wheel. I hated the cold winters and for years my wife and I keep talking about the time we could actually retire and become full timer RVers. Well believe me when I tell you the time comes fast enough, [...]

Driving the brand new VW Westphalia across country the summer of ‘66 seemed like a great idea. We were newly married school teachers and had the summer off. We left our Michigan home after stopping at the Bank of the Commonwealth to withdraw $500 for the 12 week trip. We headed West on the new [...]

My son had moved to Alabama to play college football and the trips to his games were becoming a burden. It was seven hours one way on a Friday night then back again early Sunday morning. We thought a motorhome would be fun and maybe we would not be nearly as tired when we got [...]

We purchased our very first motorhome, loaded it up, and headed out for that first trip. It was soooo exciting! The feeling of freedom was intense. I could take my little dog. I could go to the bathroom whenever I needed to without trying to find a clean bathroom at a gas station somewhere. I [...]

In the fall of 1960 my parents bought a brand new, Holly 16-foot travel trailer. This is the first trailer that they ever owned. Soon after, my dad, I and two of my friends went deer hunting in Northern Michigan with their new travel trailer. My parents owned a lot near Baldwin, Michigan and this [...]
