Couple o’ of Airstream wannabe’s in here today, CederQ. #17 and that abortion in #19 are pathetic. Ah well, homebuilt. “Minion” camper, indeed!!
I hope that motor coach fire (at #7) had no casualties, I hate it when that happens! I have only one entrance/exit abaft of the forward dining table but have emergency exit windows for all the big windows, two on each side. I try to keep the gaskets workable with silicone spray (NOT WD-40!) to make sure my fat ass won’t burn up if their function is needed! Nuttin’ worse than a stuck Emergency Exit window!
#12 is certainly glamping if you are up at Yosemite in the midwinter! BTDT
#5 – hey, animals, we see YOU doing it in the wild, time for you to experience au natural human mating. Don’t look so shocked.
Good post today, CederQ
That blue Supercamp RV #3, I wonder if it took the long way home?
Now I have a song by Supertramp running in my head.
I don’t know I’d trust that DIY cabover sleeper in #1. Yeah, some sheet metal work there looks like I did it – I have no skills there, but the red porthole is kinda funny.
Hey, my RV is on fire! I’ll just pull over next to these trees.
I rememeber when I was a kid, we’d get together with relatives and play cards. We also played card games a lot just ourselves at home. How many families do that now? Trying to gauge that with a web search is at best difficult, because there’s so much stuff out there on trading cards and collectibles, and sales figures are heavily influenced by sales to casinos.
Nice tent supports there. Another thing you likely won’t see much today. Now there are tents built specifically to be supported by trekking poles. (This one sent me off on the question of what’s an oar vs. a paddle.)
Right, quite right, you’re bloody well right.
Unique set again. That last one made me look. Best I could find, Nogales Mexico, caravan to Acapulco. Can’t do that anymore

re : burned factory RecreateVehicle
.
One of my hobbies is walking insurance salvage auctions and wrecking-yards aka ‘dismantlers’.
As we see in this profile view, a major section of the vehicle is destroyed in the center…
… right about in the region of the galley.
.
Apparently, an engineering flaw in certain RecreateVehicle refrigerators causes them to spontaneously combust.
Located near the middle of the rig, the resulting inferno tends to inhibit the future habitability.
.
An aside:
For a year and a hundred thousand miles, we delivered RecreateVehicles manufacturer-to-dealer and dealer-to-shows.
Often, waiting for paperwork, we wandered the assembly area.
.
We watched a forklift raise a RecreateVehicle frame higher than our heads before the drooping ends cleared the floor.
Apparently, most of the vehicle rigidity comes from the quarters box.
Without the structural integrity of the box, the RecreateVehicle is weak.
.
At the salvage auction, after they suffer a galley fire, stepping into a BillionBuxBus conversion is the equivalent of bouncing on a trampoline.
Not MY beastie – it’s on a Gillig bus chassis! Sturdier than hell.
