You can see a little bit of everything in RV Parks. For example, here are two extremes of RV trailers. The  owners of both appear to be doing the full time lifestyle and I would tell you both enjoy the attention their “rigs” bring them. They are both conversation starters.

First there’s the small vintage set-up…

…and then, just across the park street, and certainly on the other end of the RV trailer spectrum, you have the modern “wide open” approach.

I would definitely lean towards the vintage version but I saw one of those big rigs once which had a car stowed away underneath. A section of the trailer would lower itself to the ground, a side flap would open and there was a small convertible ready to be driven. Quite impressive, and totally over the top :)

I guess that’s further proof that it’s possible to go overboard with RVs, too! Like Cedric, I’m partial to the El Camino with the Shasta trailer.

I’m sure you run the risk of “escalation” with RVs like you do with boats, houses, etc. I once had a customer who bought a boat, realized their truck wouldn’t tow it, so they bought a new truck then decided, “as long as I have a bigger truck I might as well buy a bigger boat!” It looks and sounds like you and Bonnie have “right sized” in terms of the amount of space and stuff you are hauling around, and I commend you for that. There’s only so much stuff we actually need, and the rest just weighs us down. Whether we have the money for one of those “big rigs” or not!

I love the Shasta trailer, also. It fits more my lifestyle. I’ve seen the rigs where the Harley is underneath. He would ride it up on a pullout bed then the bed slide in under the flooring. He also had a jet black Escalade behind his rig. The palm tree is the only thing the big guy is missing.
When my parents were snow birding I was able to see the verity of rigs (homes) people have. I followed the blog of young lady in her early 20’s with a small pickup pulling a 13 foot Casita trailer. It’s all about what works for us.

Well, we’re finally back in Webster, NY Brooks and I can honestly say (with all the appropriate apologies to you and Bonnie) that I’ve seen all the RV’s on the road that I care to see for a while. Between the RV’s – of all sizes – and the semi’s, life on an interstate can be just a bit difficult!

Hope you enjoy your stay back “home”!

Yes, a careless omission on my part, Brooks. There’s no question that there are an awful lot of not-so-bright car drivers out there. Actually, with all the traveling we do I should be taking notes. I think I could write a book about those folks………
