any fellow RV'ers out there?

[Trek-chick]

What kind do you have?

Any great destinations you have been that you would reccomend?

Where are you going this season???


...just curious

DH and I just picked up a used Class A-- Damon Intruder last June. We used it for our honeymoon...... Went to Yellowstone NP and the Tetons. I have to say it was an awesome trip. We are taking it out to a local campground this weekend, to do some spring cleaning, R & R and just get away.

My DH is into off road racing so, we have a few trips to the U.P. planned for Bark River Raceway. He is also building a Class 1 off road truggy (truk/buggy) to race in the Baja 1000 so, we will be traveling cross-country quite a bit in the next few years.

post pics if you have them...I'll get one up later.......back to work now

We got our first one last year: a 23 ft Class C. Basically we got it so we could travel with the dogs. We only used it once last year, but we already have plans for a few small weekend trips, mostly to rides and races.

Me, me, me!!!

I have posted several threads on this subject that have gotten almost no attention. I hope this one does better.

We have a 2004 Airstream 28' International CCD.
Here is my blog:

I know it is pretty lame but I do not have the journal/blog gene.
You can read our RV history there if you wish.
My kids made some nice vlogs until the Macbook holding four finished videos crashed just before we arrived in Las Vegas and a speedy connection on our big summer trip. Took the wind out of their sails and they won't even touch the Flip now. My son is still lamenting, "I can't believe we lost the Grand Canyon!"

On YouTube we are FaminACan. Same videos as my blog.

We like state campgrounds.
We are going to the North Georgia Mountains for an Airstream Rally this weekend. It is called "SpringStream". We attended "Falluminum" last October.
My husband is traing for the Assault on Mt. Mitchell and he will do a 60-80mile ride that will include Brass Town Bald. I will be riding a loop around a lake. My goal is my first metric century.

We are on a perpetual second honeymoon with our AS. I guess you could call it a perpetual delayed honeymoon since we never took one in 1986. We wanted to go skiing but married too early for snow and by the time ski season came we were building our first home. And I mean building, not having it built.
Our kids are old and responsible enough to be left home on the weekends. We are so blessed!

Oh, I forgot.
We use our AS 1-2 times per month. Like my one thread says it is the passion that compliments our bikes.

We had a choice this weekend between two charity rides and the AS rally.
We also pull it to rowing regattas. We will be in Oak Ridge, TN later this month boondocking in a parking lot that is surrounded by water on three sides. There is a bike path along the river and we will be able to watch our sons' boats from launch to finish line. So exciting!
What fun is it to sit in a lawn chair at the finish line when dock launches are so explosive?

I totally agree...I can see so many opportunities on the horizon for some great biking in my future

Here is a picture of us from last Fall.
Cooper is our camping buddy.
You can't see them, but our road bikes are on BedHeads in the GMC 2500 you can just see on the left side of the photo.

I want to see your RVs too.

We regret not doing the RV thing when our kids were young. We plan to remedy that with our future grands. I love seeing all the little ones at campgrounds. We tented but not enough to make it a major part of our lifestyle. Your kids will have such an abundance of freewheeling, kid-friendly memories.

Here are some photos of the inside of our RV.
I hope some others share too.

When we first got married, we had a small trailer with just a kitchenette and bed. We took it to New Hampshire and day-hiked sections of the AT.

We upgraded to a 29ft bunkhouse for the kids. It's the best way to travel with them. We usually hit a lot of State Parks.

Ludington State Park is our favorite: there's a ton of hiking, good road-riding, and they have canoe/kayak rentals. It's hard to get into in the summer, but its a great park to visit in the spring and fall too.

We have plans to go to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Interlochen, the UP, Ludington, Yankee Springs (good mountain biking there), and probably Brown State Park in IN.

I scrolled through our pictures, I can't believe we don't have ANY of our camper! I'll have to do that this summer.
