From Tent Camping to a 21 Foot Class C RV

    I first camped in a tent when I was 8 months old and every year until my teens I did the same. In my rebellious late teens I no longer wanted to vacation with my family so I stopped going. At the age of 22 or 23 I once again felt the urge to spend some time in the “wild” so I laid out an old greasy sheet of plywood in the bed of my 1958 Chevrolet Apache pickup, tied down a canvas tarp to cover it and spent the opening eve of fishing season in this “RV”. It snowed and rained I got wet and cold and I caught no fish but I reconnected with my inner camper and have had several “RVs since then including a home made tent camper built onto the back of my 1986 Toyota pickup and I now have owned a 21 foot Class C RV for 10 years and my wife Loretta and I have seen most of the country in it. Humble beginnings indeed but fond memories all.

      I’m impressed, I must say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the problem is something that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very comfortable that I stumbled across this in my search for one thing regarding this.

      I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

      Of course I like your web-site, however you need to check the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very silly to tell you. However I’ll definitely come back again!

      There are actually a number of particulars like that to take into consideration. That may be a great level to convey up. I supply the thoughts above as basic inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you carry up where a very powerful factor shall be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around issues like that, however I am certain that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Each boys and girls feel the impression of just a moment’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.
