nylyon 171 #1 Posted February 2, 2014 Since being a young boy my family has gone camping in some sort of RV (caravan). We started with 5 of us in a 12' Pickup Camper, the kind that slide into the bed of a pickup truck and grew into a 5th wheel. When I had kids of my own, it felt natural for us to go camping as well. We started with a 19' Hybrid camper (a solid wall unit with tent like ends which are where the beds are) then onto a 34' trailer and finally to our current 5th wheel. Even if just for a weekend, I like to get away from home, lounge outdoors with a cold beer watching the world go by, only getting up to get another beer 1 neil reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 1,900 #5 Posted February 2, 2014 Nice rig! That's a lot more refined than my camping trips for the last 10 years. As a family we used to have a caravan, and later on a motor home (RV) Since leaving home the best we have is a tent nice in summer, but pretty harsh in spring, it's often below freezing some mornings when we wake up.

Stormin 4,458 #9 Posted February 2, 2014 Been a camper for years. Tents and caravans. We used to tour but not now. I still use this Oz tent on occasion. We have this caravan on a permanent site just over the border in Scotland. Just an hour away and try to get there as much as we can at weekends. I also do rally and trial marshalling about 6 times a year. The rest of my time is taken up trying to be retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon 171 #10 Posted February 2, 2014 I like that added room on the front, my old unit had one, but unfortunately wouldn't fit on the new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #11 Posted February 2, 2014 It's rather big for us alone but came with the van. Handy for the dogs though. Keeps the wet and mud out of the van. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
