I just wanted to say thanks for making me feel like one of the group. Even though I don't live in the east part of Tennesee I plan to go there often. I live more towards middle TN. Anyway Stacy invited me here from a post I made asking about camping groups. I lived a couple of miles from Rock Island SP growning up. I got away from campgrounds when I got married. I got back into camping 1 1/2 years ago when I got my old truck rebuilt and wanted a new project. We also got into camping just to get away from time to time. My wife and I have taken care of her parents that live next door for a few years now so that makes long distance trips almost impossible. Her dad died a few weeks ago but her mom is in good shape still. So we should be able to go a few more times this year than last. Our first camper was a larger one and I have always wanted a scotty. One of the members here fisherpal, had one that I was able to get. I belonged to another group here in TN but just didn't feel like I belonged. One of the trips I went was to one of their rallys. I invited the group to see my restored camper and truck but no one came by. I asked around the park if anyone belonged to that group and I only found one person who said they did. It made me feel that since I had a "older" camper I was beneath them. I have not had those feelings here. I feel like I could park between someones popup and a big 5th wheeler from here and be treated like family. For that I say thank you to everyone.

Willy, I feel the same way. When we camp our camper usually looks like it is the oldest camper in the campground, but it doesn't look that bad. We are very proud of and enjoy it. We meet lots of nice people at the campgrounds and feel like the people in this forum would appreciate that we choose to have an older camper because it is unique. We paid barely anything for it and worked for weeks cleaning, repairing, making curtains and had a blast working together to make our camper useable. Our truck is another story...........LOL
