Spycam


My new neighbor (or neighbors). I'm pretty sure someone lives in this thing as the water, sewer, and power connections are all there. “Small” would be the operative word.

    Oh wow that is tiny! It would be like living in your car!

    Small is right! I couldn't imagine living there. Where would I put my yarn?

    As a kid, we had one about 2/3 that size, but it was only for vacations... and that was was an improvement from camping in the van. I don't know how my parents didn't go crazy.

    Up until the housing bust we saw a lot of the small trailers here. A fellow told me that a lot of the skilled construction workers used them because they followed the large jobs. The builders allow them to setup on the sites and in return keep an eye on the place. Another plus is they don't miss work.

    looking at the bright side though, major housework is probably next to nothin!

    Is there only one axle on it? Our first camper was about that size. We called it Yogi, it was a 1960 and looked like something off of the Yogi the Bear cartoon. Don't believe I have ever seen on with a back quite like that, though.

    If that was my only housing option I would have two questions:

    1. Does it have an oven?
    B. Is that oven big enough for me to stick my head in it?

    I have always wanted and Airstream Bambi or a Casita to use for camping. My theory is that I would store all of the camping gear in it, drag it where ever easily, use it for cooking and pottying,showering and sleeping, but spend most of your time outside enjoying the great outdoors. It would be much better than a tent. Toby's idea of a camper is large with pull-out sides - disagreement is why we do not have one.

    Damn, a week traveling in a 40 footer is close enough quarters....that little sucker would have to have a Hot Tub for me to stand it for more than an hour at a time.

    Ash: Some SUVs are bigger than this thing... so "living in your car" could be roomier. In some cases.

    Becky: Storage IS a problem in RVs. Ask me how I know, LOL!

    Susan: I've seen smaller campers than this one, too. But only used for camping, not for full-time living. How many brothers and sisters did you have?

    Dan: I'm pretty sure the owner of this rig is a migrant worker of some sort. We get basically three classes of folks here at Beautiful La Hacienda Trailer Park... permanent residents who own trailer homes (i.e., your "double wides" and such), ENMU students in RVs, and migrant workers. I probably should add "tourists," as we DO get a few every so often. "Migrant worker" can include everything from laborers to construction guys in the trades, engineers, and managers. The guy who was the project manager for the city's fiber project lived next door to me for a year and a half... in a spiffy 34' (or larger) fifth wheel with four slide-outs. You could probably put this lil thing pictured in the project manager's living room.

    Dawn: What is this "major housework" thing of which you speak? ;-)

    Jenny: Ya, it's only got one axle. I've never seen a camper quite like this one, either. I'm thinking it's pretty old.

    Amy: LOL!!!

    Lou: Ah... I understand why you don't have an RV, then! But, you're oh-so-right: cooking, sleeping, toilet... when camping. SN2, my DIL, and two of my granddaughters (they were around 10/12 years old, at the time) and I "lived" in El Casa Móvil De Pennington for the better part of a month when we did the Great Northern US tour back in 2000. And there weren't any fist-fights, either. So, yeah...that's what one does when camping, and that's cool. Full-time living is quite another story!

    Pat: I get the feeling you aren't quite cut out for RV living, eh? ;-)

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
