We spent several months last year in a pasture with cows licking our trailer .


We were Elk hunting in a free graze area and the same thing happened to us in our pickup camper, beyond the FS roads where we camped.I have know idea why they huddled around the camper and followed us as we walked around hunting,but my wife became close friends with one who I'm sure shared the handshake with.She wanted to take it home....

A very good year hunting and the cows probably were a big help in disguise.We just blended in.

I am the original poster !
We bought a Palomino pop up . We have had 14 or 15 RVs and even fulltimed in a trailer . We are not novices , but our life styles have changed . We are not campers as much as travelers , wanderers . We tend to dry camp in small towns , in places some consider weird such as hospital parking lots , police stations , marina parking lots and lots of Wal-Marts .We spent several months last year in a pasture with cows licking our trailer .
Fuel mileage was the main reason for the pop up TC , I am still getting 15 gals to mallon with the TC .

Does "back yard" camping count?
If so I want my membership ring. ๐Ÿ˜‰

First, do you walk to work or pack a lunch?
Second the secret handshake wonโ€™t be given to you over the internet, to many non-truck camper people lurking about.
Check you mail box after the next 5th Sunday in February. Letter from Santa Clause will arrive. Inside the letter will be a code that you can easily break with your answer the first question above. However you have to make sure you answered that first question correctly, or the code canโ€™t be broken.
That broken code will tell you the secret handshake.
And welcome to the club.

Go search for the Great Whazoo, in his true environment.

When you find him, hand him a beer and an Entenmman's Doughnut.

The Great Whazoo will then show you the secret handshake.

Then and only then will you know the true calling and value of the TC Secret Handshake.

Let your search begin.

Yup, hardly see any here - matter of fact, when we camp around Florida, we get questions, and 'can we look inside' a lot... and of course, we let them look and chat about how much freedom it brings on the road, and in a lot of govt CGs because we always FIT !! ๐Ÿ™‚
