Thanks for all the replies. With the great stories and pictures.
I'm glad I was able to dig up some good memories for yall.
Now I want to add a story about one of my goofy moments.
We were coming back from Venice, Italy in our VW Bus, to Camp Darby over by Pizza, where I was stationed at the time. We were on the Autostrata? "Italian interstate" when I decided I was going to race
a Fiat (bad idea) we got up to about 80 when a piston went and blew
out one of the jugs, had to leave the VW for repairs and had to take
the train back to Pizza then the trains went on strike at midnight
like they do a lot over there. Then had to take a bus the rest of
the way, all this with 2 kids in tow. but we still had a blast
A fun trip and I would sure like to do it all over again.

My Dad made our first camper from plans out of Popular mechanics mag in early 60's. Top lifted up, front dble bunk beds came out on a roller skate wheel assembly on the tongue, Canvas sides, masonite roof towed by a 1959 Rambler Stn/Wgn with a fiberglass boat on top. Hmm Wonder if he was ever overweight. Been up more gravel roads in Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Ontario looking for walleye (pickeral).
I think my Dad would choke to see what we own today..LOL
