A couple of years ago we purchased a RV...a travel trailer to be exact. My sister had one and I thought at the time that she was absolutely nuts to buy one.
We have always prided ourselves on the fact that we were actual "campers"...we roughed it...tent, sleeping bags, Coleman stove, lanterns and jugs of water. Who needed a RV? We surely didn't! But then again, we hadn't "camped" in a gazillion years. Why? Because we had kids. I changed...he changed...we cared if we had toilets, clean cozy beds, heat, airconditioning and showers!! Maybe not so much for ourselves but for our kids.
So...we started to think that maybe my sister and her husband were onto something...we could give our children the camping memories...with a modern twist! We could travel with our pull behind apartment...we would become adventurers! We could barely contain ourselves!
We found a travel trailer that met our family sleeping/living needs and we haven't stopped since...although during the Winter our trailer sits at our house longer than we'd like...we use it not only for camping but tailgating and family get togethers at my father's pecan farm! It also comes in handy as guest sleeping quarters!
Owning and using the RV have been a learning experience in the works! Packing becomes an art! Bathing is a time trial! Cooking...a lesson in patience!
My type A personality has embraced our travel trailer...the planning...the organizing. There have been alot of trial and error but in the end...our adventures have given us the memories of a lifetime!
My sister wasn't so crazy afterall!
