getting our RV on

Last Sunday was the Vacationland Camping and Outdoor Recreation Supershow in Portland that we attend every year as previous blogs will attest to. We began the day at Lois and Jim's for breakfast as Lois prepared apple waffles and sausage patties. There didn't seem to be as many RVs or campground booths as in past years since this year there was a huge space set aside for LL Bean outdoor activities people could check out, fly fishing casting and view kayak presentations. There were booths of services and destinations which hadn't been there before. Jim was interested in a electric scooter at a booth that a neighbor of his was manning.

A little Airsteam, they sure are the classic maker of RVs and item for item they are probably the most expensive trailers on the market without having the most features. Pictured below is Carol looking over the galley/dining area. In spite of how well made they are the mid to smaller size Airstreams are a little tight for our comfort.


The most intriguing and smallest RV is the T@B, a teardrop shaped trailer. It almost makes you think you could haul it with the electric scooter Jim was looking at. One thing a buyer needs to consider, how cozy do you want to be? Even tighter would be some models of A-Frame fold-down trailers of which there were not any at this show.

Though we liked a couple of campers looked at nothing blew us away in the range of RV we were interested in. As for the campgrounds with booths there were fewer ones from further away than usual which was disappointing. New was a booth promoting campgrounds in Vermont where we hope to go sometime this summer.
