DW and I bought a Sears canvass tent at a yard sale for $15 in 1989. Married for one year with little money. She cut the awning off and used it to patch some huge holes in the roof with a repair kit that cost about $5. It was about 18 feet long. 3 separate rooms. Stayed at the national park campground near Oregon Inlet, NC for $10 a night. 11 days at the beach for $100.
Next a backpacker special. 2 sleeping bags, 2 air mattresses, and 2 person nylon tent. Started backpacking and sleeping on the trail.
Some years later a friend gave us a 1965 Airstream he used only for sleeping and cooking as a hunt camp. Lots of work later and we were on the road. Now on our 5th TT and finally able to get away several times a year.
Good memories. Thanks for starting the thread.
