I guess you could say I was born with type RV blood.
# 1 My great-great grandparents, the original Rv’ers, were ‘roughing it’ as early settlers in PA, IN, IA and OK.

#2 I was conceived and spent my first 3 years in this RV. My Dad was a WWII pilot & my Mom followed him as he trained, pulling this trailer over 25,000 miles.
#3 During the 1950’s Dad worked as a traveling salesman to the oil industry, and we spent summers camping in this teardrop through CO, WY, MT, ID & UT.
#4 Over the years we’ve progressed to bigger and fancier. My husband and I fulltimed for 10 years, during the 80’s, in a 40′ fifth wheel and now spend summers in our latest, a 38′ Georgetown, heading whichever way the cat’s tail points or the wind blows, except across KS where the winds blow into our face no matter which way we decide to travel.
I sure hope Heaven has some nice parks!
