I started out as #2 of 5 kids in a Sears 3 room tent. We thought we were Sh$$ing in tall Cotton. Ended up in a 1969 Ideal TT.

Fast forward to marriage and kids. Started with a 3 person tent so we could bring the boat. 3 kids meant no boat and a cab over camper. Then my first fiver, 1989 terry resort 215B. No A/C no awning $4800.00 included hitch. Lost it in a flood in 1986, and got divorced. Insurance paid for a new 1996 Terry 27’ with 1 slide. A year later got married to current spouse and got a 1997 Jayco Eagle 323RKS. Took it across the country in 2009, decided it was too big and spent 3 yrs looking for current trailer. Paradise fire burnt my middle son and family out so they lived in it in my back yard for a few months. Can’t wait to get time to deal with the issues caused by them and thier rottwieller.

All in all lots of great memories, couldn’t imagine life without an RV.
