I started in tents in 1963 with my rents and sibs, loaded in a 63 Rambler American wagon. We went around Gaspe and back through Ontario and New York, Vermont, NH, and Maine. Sleeping bags were in war surplus duffels on the roof rack. As the years went on we camped every summer and in 1970 went around Britain for three weeks in a rented Bedford van with Mom driving most of it as Dad was tied up with attending conferences in Aberdeen and London. Later on they had a Datsun pickup with a truck camper which I inherited when they stopped using it.....my employer in the mid-80's gave me a lake lot to use and I mounted the camper there on a frame for weekends.
Meanwhile my DW's family had a pop-up they pulled behind their VW Beetle. After we married in 74 we had apup tent for a few years then a series of low cost tents until we rented a pop-up in the early nineties. After that we bought one and whenit rotted out we went back to the drawing board. After we got into going south in our motel's off-season we had our motorhomes as well as a number of rented condo's and a double-wide in Florida we owned for two years.I had a small bleed in the brain this fall so if we get anther it will be to park in a rv park as DW doesn't feel safe with me driving anymore...
