I've been camping all my life. Of course started with my parents, then, as others have mentioned, Boy Scouts. I've camped in everything from sleeping on a tarp (no tent needed in AZ winters), tents, pick-up trucks, station wagons (pulling my race bikes). Finally got the first RV (cab over camper) in 1979 and have had some sort of RV ever since. After the camper, we have had four bumper pull trailers and two 5th wheels. All camping is fun; some trips more adventuresome than others. Like the time I let the bumper pull slide off a muddy side hill in Idaho and it took two days of digging, cutting trees and winching to get it out; it was not funny at the time but we laugh about it now. Or the time I flooded a trailer (full time then) in the winter and came home to 3" of ice covering the floor in the entire unit. Maybe we should start a thread for people to post their "adventures". In any case, all good memories.
