We started with an old army tent, bought VW Westphalia camper conversion with two little kids, then bought a new 1972 Dodge Maxi-Van "Family Wagon" bubble top conversion ( rudimentary amenities but easy to park and most versatile vehicle ever owned). Not knowing any better, we made hundreds of local camping trips and a number of cross country tours. Later we bought an old used 23 foot class C money pot and after that a new 27 foot Tioga 26Q.I have often thought that I'd like something like a Road Trek again, but converting this into that and submarine-like elbow room, along with aging and arthritis along with high cost disuaded us. Our 2004 Tioga 26Q with rear bedroom and huge storage compartment seems to be the best compromise for us despite some parking problems and my walking difficulties.
