Hello from Florida
I started camping a age 8 with my parents in an old Ford station wagon and a tarp slung over it. My wife and I started up higher on the camping food chain, We started off with a dome tent, then up to a winnabago adventure, from there to a custom built toyhauler. Then to a Keystone Outback 28krs. We loved it, now we reside full time in a '10 Montana 3585SA. When I retire in about a year and a half we'll be moving in to a new Raptor. Of course my wife will be taking over, half of the garage

Are you sure your wife will only be taking 1/2 of the garage? I'll check back with you when you move in to your Raptor to see how much space you really have! Hope you didn't throw out that old tarp........welcome to the forum.

My back aches just thinking about camping in the back of my old pickup with the tarp over the top. I can't for the life of me remember where we hung the flat screen.  Thanks for the trip down "Memory Lane" and welcome to the forum.  Travel safely, Hank
