When I got married our first home was a little 1952 Alma. It was beautiful with a living area as you walked in the door, a kitchen in the middle, then a dry bath and bedroom in the back. It had mahogany paneling throughout. There was a sliding door to separate the bedroom and bath from the living area. Our first child was born while we lived in that Alma. It was a glorious life and we thought nothing could be better. That as back in the 60s.

To me, the RV that we choose to live in has to feel like home. We've had some really small camper trailers, but when we stopped for the night, it was home. So no matter what the size, (and some were definitely too small for our family) it has to feel like home. We cook our meals, we eat together, we sleep, and we get to experience new places, all because we have brought our home with us. And it is definitely worth it.

While hiking is nice my wife is in a wheelchair so that isn't happening for us. We enjoy seeing the small towns in America. We tow a car behind our Class A diesel pusher so we can tour once we are parked. Museums are great too. Anything that is handicapped accessible. My wife wanted a Class A and the diesel pushers have the air ride suspension so that's what we have. We absolutely love it. She has to use the bathroom a lot. With the motorhome she can use it while I drive. She can stand up and walk, but only short distances. Then she needs her recliner. We took out one of the couches and installed Lazyboys top of the line recliner for her. Now everyone has what they need to be comfortable and enjoy. We still have our home, but we enjoy trips ranging from one week to two months.

My parents traveled a lot with dad's job after I was born. They raised 3 of us in a 32 foot trailer. When I was six we upgraded to a 10 x 55 which had to be moved with a commercial trailer towing truck. The trailer was eventually moved onto acreage near the California coast and added onto. My husband had the same kind of job. Our first buy was a boxy Hensley - coldest trailer ever. In 1977 we bought a 32 foot Kit Companion with a "tip out". We found a 1955 Spartan 2 bedroom trailer. It wasn't "self-contained" but what they called a park model. It was lovely. Those mirrors in the bathroom were 1/4" thick plate glass! We were sad to sell each of them. We had a couple of small motor homes for vacationing when our kids were young. Now we own a 2016 Retro 177 and except for the wet bath we love every inch of it.

I retired when I was 56, but my wife just recently retired and we’re talking about buying an RV to see the country on a part-time basis, perhaps 2 weeks to a month or more at a time depending on where we go, how we feel and what we want to see. I lived about a year in a 35’ motorhome many years ago and it was perfect for me. Therefore, I want to buy a 5th wheel. However, my wife wanted a class B until I explained the prices to her. So now she’s settled on a small class C, light the smallest we can find. I on the other hand want one of the largest class c if that’s we go with a class c. Needless to say, we haven’t bought anything yet as we can’t agree on what to get. I know she’d be happier with a larger rig when we’re parked staying somewhere, but I have a bad back so she thinks she’ll have to drive sometimes and doesn’t want to drive anything that she’s not comfortable with. She refused to drive the motorhome we had. We’ll see as time will tell, but I have a feeling we’ll end up with something on the smaller side.

I was just down the street from that museum a few years ago taking a tour of the Nexus plant. I'm going back to the area in September, I'll be sure to make it. As far as my bucket list goes all I really want to do is drive to Alaska and maybe the Arctic Circle. I've seen most of this country (all but California and Nevada) but there are some National Parks I'd like to see too. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me, hug them tight whenever you can I almost lost a daughter and granddaughter this spring. Fortunately they're doing fine but it was really close for the daughter.

Covered wagon was the first "RV". The sheep camp or "Camp" wagon is something you need to check out, they are on youtube. The GMC is front wheel drive and front engine. On the rotary phone you all failed because you did not lift the receiver and listen for dial tone, it is fun with teens if you find a working payphone. I have a 1985 Princess phone for our "landline" VOIP line. Kids will call all their friends from it because it looks like an old movie phone. Hope you guys stay safe and healthy and enjoy your new RV to try out.

I wish I knew all the campers we had names and years. When Bill and I met he had like a 15' camper. You could walk in and turn around and walk out. It had bunks on one side a dinette on the right and a sink for a kitchen. We have had from a 1970's camper to the one we have now 2018 Grand Design. We had 5 before the Grand Design that I can't remember what they were but they were all used except one we bought in 2002 which I know they don't make anymore but it was a 4 season 5th wheel.

Interested to see how the Lineage does on the road and the floorplan in practice. I liked but not loved what I saw of it so far. I like the paint job I agree on the 'what do you really need?' question. Our Class C was used, it doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles, but it's paid for. And less bells is less things to break.

We’ve had pop ups and hard side, built a retro and a teardrop, and currently have a cargo trailer conversion that we love. For us, it’s the right fit for this time in our lives and that’s what matters. It’s small, 7x12, but just right for us and two dogs.
