Cuts down on transit time, maximizes efficiency, you can use her bathtub for a chip bin.

We got the opposite, a big ol' heated/jetted tub.
A lot cheaper to use than a regular hot tub.

Maybe a Caveman???????????

Back door missing, metal skin wrinkled / collapsed. I'll bet the flimsy wood under that metal looks like splinters. Might be good for a weenie and marshmallow roast!

Might be a caveman........or a six-pac or a Conestoga.......one of those good ol' dry-rot specials from the late 60s/early 70s.

I remember as a little kid going to look at "new" campers on the RV lots with the old man, just about as much fun as x-mas!
Gotta jump in the cab-overs or hide in the bathrooms!

Our "RV" when I was growing up was the back of the horse truck. Tarp over the side and head boards, tarp on the floor boards, special hole cut for a small heat stove pipe, Coleman cook stove, air mattress and sleeping bag. Just had to shovel the horse s&^* out first.


Good old down home country aroma. Didn't need any of those Christmas tree fresheners.


When dad and I rebuilt my sister's camper, I saw just how flimsy they were made and I got worried.


When the jacks collapsed out from underneath my King of the Road and we tore into it to rebuild that mess.............well, I salvaged some stuff out of it, we took it to the burn pile, tied a chain to it and the tractor. Dad drove one way and I drove the other. Then we set it on fire. It burned so fast and wicked.........that was 1995.


It was just last year that I let my wife talk me into another one. I've got smoke detectors and the escape hatch on the cab over is always set for a quick exit.

Dad never kept anything (trucks, boats, RVs) very long, always had to have new........I am the exact opposite, I keep stuff forever.

We never got to see how those older campers deteriorated........but we always had fun with the new stuff!
