MotorHome Advice
Description
A few of my rving experiences - Learning a little about me and my background may help you to understand why I undertook this project. It also may bestow a bit of confidence in what I have to say about MotorHomes.
I began my journey into the RV world in 1971. That was when I moved my family, lock, stock and barrel, to Alaska. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Before we left for Alaska my family, my mother, my step-dad and I spent one hot and sticky night camping in a tent. Well, we didn't really spend the whole night. You see it was in Oklahoma in August and it was miserable. So, very early in the morning we got up, fought our way through the mosquitoes, and headed back home. That was my first and last tenting experience. I decided I might want to camp in Alaska where it was cooler, but I wanted something other than a tent.
So I went looking for a pickup camper. I shopped around Altus, Oklahoma, and found an 8 foot cab-over custom made pickup camper. I told the salesman after I bought the camper that I was going to have to go find me a truck. Nothing like putting the cart before the horse! Anyway, I went searching for a truck to tote my camper. And, what a truck I found. The only one I could afford was a 1969 Ford F-100. (See where this is heading?) At the time I had a car, a family/race car of sorts, a 1966 Comet Cyclone GT. Although I loved that car, I also wanted to camp in comfort and didn't have the bucks for both. I happily traded my prize possession Cyclone in on the truck and made my way to the camper dealer. They loaded the camper onto the truck and after a good bit of settling, and a little groaning. the truck finally sat still looking real sharp. I had no idea of pickup capacities, camper weights in relation to those capacities and I couldn't find anyone with the experience or know how to ask. . . not even the truck or camper dealers. They said, "That truck ought to handle it just fine." They made the sale and I began my long and continuing learning process about Recreation Vehicles.
