Our Ratty Camper and "The Look" Update: Interior Pix Pg. 5

[Magicbus]

I'm glad we're not going to be there at the same time. I wouldn't want to be next to you because I'm not sure if I could handle your rig getting all the attention.

Wow....you CANT be serious!!!! Love that old camper.....embrace its character....become the Clampet!!!! My camper is purposely eye-sore'd up to raise eyebrows....I dont party as much as my lil camper might make people think I do, and I kinda like the sigh of reliefe that comes from my neighbors once they talk to me for a few minutes!!! The fort is like the mothership of campgrounds...we all have to eventually gravitate towards it.....so your Granny Clampet Camper will fit in better THERE than at some of the other STUCK UP rv resorts. But dont ever disgrace your campers good history by removing a Greatful Dead sticker!!!! As a matter of fact...you should update it and add a new "Greatful Im NOT Dead" sticker right next to it...Jerry Garcia would get a smile out of that!!!

Rog, if you only knew how much I enjoy reading all of your posts...
Dang I hate that I can't make it to the "Triple G."

Liv...Im sad too....you are a good sport and always get my humor...even the poor attempts at it. We will cross paths one day...I can feel it in my bones...or maybe thats just arthritis!!

"Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either."

I kinda like my '63...

Fella had a Prevost for sale when we were at FW in August, offered to trade him straight-up!

Thats because when life gives you lemons....ya grab the bourbon and have a lynchburg lemonade party....if ya dont make the best of what ya'v got, what ya'v got will take the best from you.

Actually,,I'm not the person who would judge,,but would likely ask you if you would show me your camper (while offering you a beer)



I am so friggn nosy,
my wife hates that.

LOL - too funny Frank! Actually the first year we had our little Kodiak hybrid TT I think we were the only hybrid in the entire Fort. We were parked on 500 (Premium) between hoards of massive MHs. We must have had someone ask us almost every day if they could see what our li'l camper was like inside. And of course DH was more than happy to conduct tours.

Oh and the best quote I've read on these boards is...
"Growing old is mandatory, growing UP is optional"

Words to live by!!

We have camped several times in a preferred loop with our 1994 Fleetwood Avalon pop up camper (which we just sold last week). I remember one time we were right next to a very expensive Prevost Coach. It was gorgeous. We felt like the Clampetts but it just made us laugh! Enjoy your time at Fort Wilderness and don't worry about what your rig looks like. We're all on even ground when we're camping there.

Are you kidding me?

This thing is AWESOME! You are going to be the envy of your neighbors, not a pariah!

 

[BigDaddyRog]

You have a classic Airstream....people pay a friggen FORTUNE for those!!!! You really DID have alot of fun listening to Greatful Dead, didnt you!!!

 

[jsmla]

Yes, a bit too much. We spend a lot of time walking into rooms and then forgetting why we went in there these days. The mean doctors have taken beer, red meat and most seafood (We're from Louisiana!) away from hubby. My cholesterol is high-getting old is no fun at all.

I have to admit the whole camping thing is hubby's hobby. I'm more the hotel type. Scott's usually kind of lukewarm about Disney but he's all excited about Ft. Wilderness.

We planned one a year or so ago but changed due to $4 gas. Looks like it's on the rise again but I think we'll stick with the trailer. Scott loves it so. I think it will be worth the extra $$$ to keep him happy

We'll if any of y'all would like to trade your new motorhome (MUST have flush toilet!) I'd love to arrange a swapsie

We do get people dropping by to ask for a look-see, almost always gentlemen of a certain age. I may be wrong but I've always just assumed their wives prefer their modern bathrooms and appliances.

She's all closed up at the moment. I'll post the insides if we set it up again.

The thing about Airstreams is they have stayed the same since they started building them. Yours could be a couple years old. I like it !

 

[cmviall]

Love your vintage Airstream!! Hubby and I have wanted one for so long, but they aren’t easy to come by in the Northeast, so we ended up with a 1977 Fan, which we love. Her maiden voyage will be to the Fort in Dec, which will actually be the first trip for all of us and we can’t wait. Funny, but the idea of not taking Fluffy (as we have affectionately named her) because of her age never even crossed our minds.

I don't know if I'm a "gentleman", and I will deny being of a "certain age." But, I would love to see the inside. You have a real jewel there. I am sure you could trade that for a flush toilet! Unless of course I was your husband, I wouldn't get rid of that for any toilet.

Enjoy your trip, you have nothing to worry about at the fort!

Looking forward to pictures. As you can tell from my picture, I love vintage MH, TT, etc.

As DSs and I walked past the huge RVs in the parking lot type sites near the campfire and imagined all the ammenities being enjoyed by the people inside, after we'd spent the previous night in our not so waterproof tents in a heavy rainstorm, we raised our noses in the air and scoffed "but that's not REAL camping."

However, if we'd seen your camper, we'd definitely have said "now that's cool!"

Hubby is also a "real" camper. Back in his younger days he did a lot of backcountry camping. NOT my thing though! I can live with Dino but no tents for me, thank you very much. I'm in awe of those of you that can do Disney in a tent.
