"Camping quadding, and hiking with good friends for three days on the Kettle River, in beautiful weather, in beautiful B.C."
My husband and I were visiting the Nelson/Balfour area for the first time in our 1970-something Boler travel trailer. On arrival at the campsite, we were assigned a lakefront spot and when we parked, we were the only people there; however, as we set up camp, neighbours arrived to the left and to the right of us. Once we had set up camp, we decided to take a drive to Balfour and as we were pulling out of our campsite, I looked back at our trailer and this picture is what I saw. The difference in size between us and our neighbors really tickled our funny bones. We've now graduated to a 28' fifth wheel but we still talk about our little Boler, how much fun we had in it and how simple life was back then.
Here’s a photo showing that older RVs don’t need to retire. This 24-foot 1989 Ford / Vanguard has taken us to places as diverse as Fairbanks and Inuvik, San Diego, Key West and Halifax. Those with elementary geography will notice there’s quite a bit of territory between those towns. We added a pair of propane fuel tanks so it drives on dual fuel for a range of over 400 miles. Here I photographed it near Red Rock River in Montana five years ago.
Thanks to advancements in virtual reality, you can see what RVs look like without actually setting foot inside one at Carefree RV in Edmonton, Alberta
