Camping Mother's Day weekend

This past weekend these two trailers pulled in and set up on the row in front of us. I had to get a couple of pictures. I kind of looked like a "throw back" back moment to the 80's. the one on the left is a '87 Aljo Aly, and on the right is an 89 Fleetwood Terry "Resort". I spoke to the man with the Terry, and they had only had it a week. He said it had been completely restored to near original condition. The other belonged to his brother and they plan to begin restoration on it this fall.

    I have found nostalgic memories of our late 1960s 14 foot trailer. I pulled it with a behemoth with an engine over 400 cu-in.

    I also recall what it lacked, that I enjoy now that I am older. :)

    Fun to recall, but would not want to go back.....unless I could also shed the 40 plus years also. :)

    Yea, it seems the older campers and the shinny new campers grab our attention. Everything in between somehow, just goes by unnoticed.

    Here's one we had camped near us a couple years ago. I never did see the owner though. My parents had one similar to this, only bigger. I estimate the year of this to be somewhere between 1963 and 1965.

    Great older campers, gotta love them. No wonder the "Retro" versions are gaining popularity.

    I love my 91 and its nowhere near as nice as something that's been restored. the front window is a major plus for us

    That looks great. Nothing wrong with older campers. :)
