A tale of trailers and our RV adventures

In my mind, my RVing started back in the early 1979 when I purchased my first tent trailer. Thing was, this tent trailer was made for towing behind the big touring motorcycles of the day like my 1975 Honda 1000 Gold Wing. The Time Out Trailer was a 5 foot long by 3 foot wide by 1 foot tall box that opened up to make a 5 foot by 7 foot by 6 and a half foot tall, off the ground , tent. It was great to pull up on the parking pad at a national park campground or any other camping facility and camping on the pavement leaving all the rest of the campsite open for relaxing around and still being comfortable off the ground on a nice flat deck. No hidden rocks there! I camped a lot back then with several friends that also towed motorcycle tent trailers, they were a big thing back then! We'd set up two or three motorcycles and towed tent trailers to a campsite or in a parking lot at places like the Motorcycle Jamboree when it was at the Ventura County Fairgrounds in the early 1980's.
