More about drake52
My wife and I did our first RVing (1968) in a 1966 VW camper (pre-pop top)and we got the bug. Our next RV adventure (1971) was to RV in Europe for three months with our two early teen kids, driving a car and pulling a 13' English trailer with no electricity or water and a bucket (with seat) in a tiny closet for a toilet. It was a 10,000 mile grand tour - in all ways! Over the following years my wife and I returned to Europe and had marvelous experiences. After our last 6000 mile, five week trip through Eastern Europe, we decided that for our next trips (2) we'd go to hotels - fine, but no comparison to the RV experience. In between those trips we did a lot of RVing in this country (with one trip in 1979 to Mazatlan, Mexico), first in our own 13' trailer and then (after the kids had grown) in a 27' 5th wheel. I'm not sure how many states, but coast to coast and Canada to Mexico. What a wonderful bunch of memories that provides. In 1997, my wife died, totally unexpectedly, and I thought I would never want to RV again, so I sold the 5th wheel. A year or so later I decided that was a terrible mistake and I got a 24' Minnie Winnie. By this time I had connected with a distant cousin whose wife had also just died and we have been living (and RVing) together since then. We've gone coast to coast and from Nova Scotia to San Carlos, MX, Florida to Washington state and it has been great. Now I have a 32' Landau Class A and we're thinking that the six week trip through the southeast we're just back from was not enough - we'll try Snowbirding this fall/winter and then see whether going full time might work for us. I can't begin to tell all the stories these RV experiences have generated - and hopefully, there will be more. A lot more.
