We have been camping since our youngest was out of diapers. (He's 54). First it was a tent, and we went to State and National Parks. When we went to Alaska, we had a Ford Econoline with a turtle tail, which was a fold out that slept two. The round trip to Alaska was 10,200 miles. We had our five kids, my Dad, DH and me. I might add that the Alaska highway was not paved in 1969. The next step was a pop-up, which we thought was the "ultimate." It had a kitchen (of sorts), and slept 8. Of course, no indoor plumbing. We traveled in this until we decided to take our trips on the water and bought a sailboat. When we retired, the sailboat was sold and we still had itchy feet so we bought our first motor home, a 25 foot (from our RV salesman son, no less). After two years, we upgraded to a 30 footer which we had for a couple of years, and then upgraded to what we have now -- a 36 foot Winnebago with two slideouts. The only problem is we haven't been able to use it as much in the last three years as we would like. For several years we belonged to an RV club which took us to lots of great places, but after some time we decided we liked to do our own thing. We usually spent a month on the road, mostly going west. I'll try to dig up some pictures later of the Winnebago but now I've got to make some breakfast for DH before he starves!
