Pass the vaseline, we're going urban!

I realize that truck campers are the ultimate offroad abode.... but while visiting our daughter, son-in-law and grandson in Portland, OR - we got a tour of the downtown area sights and fun spots. We made like a mountain goat, climbing up and down steep drives, twisting around impossibly-close and massive trees along narrow streets; and parallel parking in some pretty tight places. I can't tell you how many times Ed and I have said "Thank God we're not trying to do this with the Class C!!!!"

In the past, we passed many places because we couldn't get parked in our Class C, or worse yet, with the 5th wheel. Now, due to our small footprint, we've dined in some unique eateries; and visited amazing places that are simply too tight for most RVs to get into, let alone park.

I think we're hopelessly in love with this truck campering thing :-)

  • You guys are brave, I avoid Portland like the plague in a car let alone the truck! However, some of the best eats and brews to be had there.
