I have been camping since 1978 from a cox tent camper to Prevost 40 foot tag axle 8v92. Throw in class C, several different travel trailer, airstream, Gulfstream Diesel Pusher 5.9 cummins diesel pusher,and Beaver Patriot 8.3 cummins diesel pusher.
I got married in 2006, tented for a little bit longer, had first child in 2008, stopped camping for year and then bought a new pup for her in 2010. Second child in oven in 2011 demanded a hybrid and the story is status quo since. I have camped from Maine to Florida, and all points west to Death Valley/Oceanside California. Dragged a jeep tj behind the Gulfstream diesel pusher to the grand canyon in 2000. I have lived in PA since 1979 and turn 40 in August.
My father has been a diesel nut since 1980. He had every type of diesel since. I.E. Mercedes 240D to 300D, VW TDI, olds diesel, chevy diesel 6.2/6.5, every cummins diesel variant since 93, several power stroke fords.
I owned a soft ice cream truck with an Isuzo 3.9 liter turbo diesel. Several UD 1200 Catering trucks with 3.9 liter turbo diesels. Jeep liberty CRD,1987 6cyl 300D turbo Mercedes, and wacky 8.2 liter big block Detroit Diesel NA.
