How did you get into Rving or camping?

I grew up camping. First in tents, then in a tiny popup. It had two twin-sized mattresses and the floor. I slept on the floor! Then, as the family grew, a bigger popup. We were a family of eight, and we camped coast to coast every other summer all of my growing up years. Eight people, popup towed by a station wagon, and all of our gear stuffed everywhere. Nobody worried about WD hitches and tow capacity on the TV. Well, at least we didn't worry about it.

We stayed in a lot of state parks and KOAs. I remember bathing and washing my hair under a spigot in McGill campground in the Pinos mountains in California because there were no bath houses and our popup didn't have a shower. That water was too darned cold, but oh, well. At 13, clean hair trumped cold water. They don't have water available now...I wonder why.

Going forward, started with a tent with my kids. When I grew tired of sleeping on the ground we rented cabins. Now, with kids grown and gone and still having wanderlust, we bought our first camper, a TT, over three years ago. This year we moved to a MH, and we're planning to full time as soon as finances allow.

My kids are all tent campers, and they take their kids, so the saga and love continues.
