Travel trailer memories....

Well interestingly enough, all of our first experiences as kid-camping were with my grand parents who had a new 1966 GMC pickup with a V-6 and 4 speed. They purchased a new Siesta crank up camper for it. Each grand-kid got to go some where once a year with them. Since there were four of us at home at that time the grandparents were pretty busy keeping the Kids-Camping Score even. Then in 1971 for some strange reason my dad decided to open an RV shop. He was a farmer...knew nothing of RVs but for some reason. All of us worked in the RV shop learning how to repair everything and I mean everything. When my wife and I got married we tented out of rebellion for two episodes 'til the Mojave Desert wind tore it to shreds.............then rebellion over and started the life of travel trailers after one slide in sleeper shell. First trailer was a 1962 Oasis. Cool rig...Dometic Fridge with a zip tube to light it. Second trailer was a 1967 Terry Trailer, definitely more modern. Then, kids, so a 1984 25' Nomad Bunkhouse. Lots of goodies compared to the previous two rigs. Living the high life with this rig. Had that rig from 1992 to 2015. Now we have the Creek Side and it's almost like cheating. Both our kid loved camping in the trailer and have very fond memories of our camping trips. We are planning a Mojove desert trip with my son. He will likely rent a mini home for the trip. Good, good times for sure!
