RV Thread
 

I got a message from one of the members who lists himself as a full time RVer and it dawned on me--we ain't got an RV thread.

As it happens, last month I bought a 2006 Keystone Springdale and graduated from a storage container habitat to a travel trailer. :haha: You can take my word for it, the bathroom is a very important part of a dwelling. And now I have a kitchen!

Biggest improvement: the travel trailer is insulated and is much better at keeping the cold or heat out than the steel walls of the bunker.

I've done some mods to it, to make it a better one person home, will post pics later. If you have a camper, RV, or travel trailer, tell us about it? Or you full time or recreational?:up:

Does this count as an RV :hmmm:

You're talking about the horse right?:O:

You cant' tie a hammock to a horse, they move :O:

That's one of my dream

If I should hit the jackpot I'm going to rent a big RV and travel round the US for a year or so.

I rented a 30' RV last November to transport my elderly aunts and mother up to our place in Maine. What a great way to travel but you still need a 2nd vehicle to run around in when you get to your destination.

Though my 21' Heartland Prowler RBS and I have made a couple of leisurely trips (camp out airshow, fishing trip and Disney World), the majority of our time together is strictly business.

Traveling frequently, my little RV serves as my home while I am on work related deployments and was my home from April to mid November continuously in 2014!

I've always loved the call of the open road. Having an RV handy makes answering the call all the more easier.

The less you have the easier it will be to live ... you've made a wise choice.

Don't forget to put a skirt around the bottom of the trailer or little unwanted critters will make a home underneath your carriage.

They even have babies under there and expect you to feed them. :yep:

I always wanted to get an old Winnebago or Cortez 70's RV and covert it to a lunch truck by day and sleep in it back in the back at night, but I'm not sure the health department would let me.

Dreams are sometimes what we hope for, but never get.

wait a minute that's too negative ... what I mean is never give up :know:

Inevitability..
 

I knew the shipping container wouldn't last too long.:03:

It will make an excellent garage though.:up:

Scene: A cold Decembe rv morning and we find Neal working on the plumbing.

"Crapper was full!"

Used to have a 4-berth tourer when the kids were youngsters but parking whilst not in use was a right PITA.

Those are the most beautiful RVs, nothing beats that sculpted aluminum.:D

They'd look better with a custom top turret (I recommended for your Container-haus:O:) and a scope attached as well and a Lone Star flag!http://www.airstream.com/wp-content/...bt-310x310.jpg Check out this flotilla...I wonder if #666 is for sale out there....somewhere!?? every Airstream has its own number!:rock:

Don't forget the electric brake controller for the trailer brakes, and keep them adjusted properly. If you don't, probably there will be a thread on how Neal lost his RV.

When you park it, be sure to cover the tires. The sun will destroy them.

This is my RV.

Good advise, swamprat. I definitely need to protect the tires, they only get used rarely in my case (this camper will only move once a year or so). Probably will move it one more time in the coming year, when I pull it out to my ranch while my house is being built.

I like your "RV", that's something on my list too :)

I made some modifications to it, to use as a full timer. I took down the wall that makes the bedroom and removed the queen bed (I have a small bunk bed on the other end that I use, no need to waste space for sleeping). This gave me a decent sized "living room ". I also re hung the cabinet that was on that wall, placing it above my computer desk. No sense in throwing anything away when it can be used to store stuff.
