Thank you for starting the post and for sharing the stories. I am enjoying reading them. Mine is simple. I started camping with my Dad most trips. We camped out under the stars. We bought a used tent and thought it was great. We put it up in the backyard where my friends and I could sleep in it. We joined family reunions where most of the family was in tents. We always fished. After my mother passed,my father and his new wife bought a mini winnie. After a few years of joining them, my family bought our first TT. It was 30 years old when we sold it and bought our first TT new. All our friends miss the old trailer. My husband, son and I enjoy pulling and setting up the new one! Great memories with friends and family.
