I grew up in a camping family. I'm 56 years old now and Mom and Dad have had to retire from the camping/RV scene a couple of years ago, and are currently trying to sell their 2005 Challenger 28RK 5th wheel, but they used it thru their early 70's..
They started out in 1964 taking me as a 6 mo old in a 1960 Ford Falcon and sleeping on the ground at the Kern River in CA.
Moved along the way thru the years, with sleeping bags, tents, truck campers, travel trailers, but always great memories and lead me to my current RV camping life now.
Thank you for the post and you are right, new memories will be made with your rig and another generation that will be able to enjoy this lifestyle.
Oh, just watched the Space X launch and it brought tears to my eyes... I remember all the Apollo moon landings and the first Space Shuttle launch and this made me feel the same way. What a great moment for space travel in the USA again.
