I started camping as a kid by driving two t fence posts into the ground, stretching bailer twine between them and throwing a tarp over it. In the ‘70’s I rented either travel trailers or truck campers from a local rv dealer then when they went out of business a large family tent.
In the late ‘80’s I bought a used truck camper for $500 and made a gooseneck trailer to mount it on towing with a Ford Ranger. From there I migrated to a 26ft low profile 5th (in my Sig) and now my current 31 ft 5th wheel.
Welcome to the 5th wheel club...if there is such a thing... Just enjoy whatever you buy!
