A Day at the RV/Camping Show

We spent the day climbing in and out of campers at the Green Bay RV/Camping show.  Vendors from all over northeast Wisconsin were displaying their pop ups, campers and recreational vehicles.  

The show had been moved ahead because the assumption was that the Packers would still be in the playoffs. The arena where the show is held shares the Lambeau Field parking lots, so both events could not be held at the same time.  

The Packers lost last Sunday, but it was too late to move the show dates back. That meant that Saturday and Sunday crowds were all crammed into a Saturday show.  Thousands of people slowly moved down narrow aisles between the giant rigs.   

We climbed into camper after camper to see what they were like inside.   Eventually, we want to spend our summers traveling but that will require something different than the HTT we have now, which is a hard sided camper with pop out ends that hold the beds. 

Gary and I have found that we can live together in Mathom House because we have offices on separate floors.  Gary figured that if we could turn one of the bedrooms in a camper into an office for me, I could write this blog, short stories and novel drafts there. We would meander around the United States going from one national forest campground to another. 

We found what we wanted, two bedrooms, one of which would be mine.   

This little room would suit me perfectly. My laptop computer would fit on the table, there would be storage space for printer and office supplies and we could easily change the bunk beds into a comfortable couch/bed

The rest of the camper has a bedroom, a bathroom, a living area and a kitchen. The dinette would serve as Gary's office.  

No, we didn't buy the rig, but now we know the right one is out there.  It may be a few years before we hit the road.  I still have a house that will have to be sold once the market improves, and there is Rascal, our 18-1/2 year old cat.  We can't take him with us and he is too old to adapt to a new family.  Then there is the problem of what Gary, the pack rat, would do with all his possessions.  

It will be a few years for sure.
