Little Rigs Welcome

My father in law, Andy, and his family (Elvie, Alex, and Andrew) recently purchased a new pop-up camper.  We are all really excited about this since we enjoy spending time together and spending it camping will be even better.

I have included some photos and commentary of their first day with the camper. 

 Andy and I took this opportunity to practice backing up a trailer.    The shorter the trailer, the harder it is to back up since the trailer will jackknife on you if you turn and back-up too aggressively.

Of course, backing up can result in an explosive situation between your and your domestic partner.  If your marriage is not on stable grounds, then I urge you to bring in a third party to help with this part of camping.

Of course, after several attempts, Elvie suggested Andy keep his day job as an engineer and not consider getting a truck driving job.  As I predicted, she was ejected from the car.

Elvie was sent to the garage where she quickly became disinterested in helping with the trailer.

Fortunately, Elvie and Andy have a real good marriage and all was  quickly forgotten. In fact, we were having so much fun that, to my embarrassment, I forgot to take a picture with the camper fully extended and set up.  Nevertheless, you could just see how excited they were to get ready and go !

A Happy Ending !

Camping brings families together !
