My family has enjoyed camping since I was a boy. I remember camping in a tent on the Tucannon Lakes. My dad was a professional rodeo team roper. We traveled much of the spring and summer in a cmaper off the back of his pickup.
Once married, I "splurged" one particularly poor year and bought a four man tent. We've camped every summer since.
I bought our first RV trailer in 1999 and soon trade the used one in for our new 2000 model 25 foot Sandpiper from Forest River. It's been to Yellowstone, Lake Louise, Banff, and all over Washington State. Once our two sons were grown, my wife and I kept using it one week a year. This year we bought a fifth wheel and plan to live in it full time. We're offering to let others experience the joy of camping by renting our very well maintained Sandpiper.
