Avid RV'ers

We started camping in 2000 in a small 1984 17 foot Jayco travel trailer that my parents owned. After 6 months we found we enjoyed the family camping experience and upgrade to a larger trailer. We are now on our 5th trailer (3rd 5th wheel). We started camping one weekend a month which quickly escalated to most weekends from April to October. We camped with friends, family, clubs and made great friendships and experiences along the way. We are now empty nesters and taking a few longer trips a year through out the country. We recently settled down a bit and also have a seasonal site in our state when not traveling.
