How did you get into Rving or camping?
Is being out in the woods some type of gene or in the blood, what is with camping?

We never went camping as a family growing up. My little brother & I went camping with the churches Royal Ranger's scouting group. We usually had two camping trips a year, one big regional Pow Wow with other Ranger groups, the other one would be just out local group. Those were the best memories of growing up, man... pancakes & sausage never tasted better!
I got a pup tent for my 12th birthday, so we'd camp out in my yard or my friend's yard. In the middle of the night we'd wander the neighborhood streets, it was like a whole different world in the wee hours.
I bought a 12' micro TT when I was 20, I used it for a few years on a friends land up state NY. I brought it home years later, used it for storage, mice ruined it and I scraped it.
A few years after that I bought a 24' TT to use as an office trailer / storage while building new homes. Once while it was sitting at home between projects I decided to take it to a local c/g to try camping in it, our kids were just the right ages where we could all enjoy it, and we did. After that, we were hooked.
Now with a bigger 36'er, we have all the comforts of home without all the distractions. A great way to have true family time.
I'm sure that I ensured that my "some day" grand kids will be camping & boating because mine are now & love it all. Camping sure is nice legacy to pass on to the next generation.
My wife never camped before, she has done the tent one time on our old pontoon boat, she's a good sport and will endure anything for the family. She loves the TT & now the cabin Cruiser (boat), she needs the flush toilets & warm showers, etc... Happy wife, happy life :)
