Christtmas Tree RV

RVs...we've see them all.  During our trip to the Tampa RV show, we saw all of the NEW fangled RVs and all they have to offer.  

So what happened to the OLD RV lifestyle or how RVing began.  In fact, RVing started when some ingenious people decided to BUILD their RVs to make their camping experience more enjoyable.  Some were trailers (like the teardrops) while others were conversion vans or busses.  

In today's RV world, I was told there are basically 5 types personalities in the camping world.  Below is how it was explained to me (and I tend to agree)

- Class A - Upper class level of people (white collar) who tend to keep to themselves and stay inside their RV more than they come outside (since they have all of the amenities of HOME)

- Class C - Middle class people who want more amenities, but still want to be "camping".  These folks are friendly and you see them outside their RV (probably because of the smaller space inside).  But they are always helpful to other campers.

- 5ers - The uppercrust of pull behinds.  These folks are VERY friendly since most of them have moved up from a travel trailer.  

- Travel Trailers - Some of the best campers out there and they are the MOST friendliest campers.  They spend a lot of time outside their campers around fire pits enjoying the outdoors.

- Tent Campers - These are the TRUE RUSTIC campers.  Living in a tent and enjoying it.  Even if it rains, they seem to be having fun :)

Below is a photo of one of our neighbors!  They have taken a pickup truck bed camper and put wheels on it.  It seems to work well for him.  He is also adding A/C (one is in a box next to the camper).   Gotta love this rig...homemade and beautiful!
