You see all kinds of rigs

 Mostly these all speak for themselves

For those who travel light
If you want to discretely tuck away your travel stickers

Johnnie's dream RV-- an old school bus!


A Teardrop: tow with an SUV, move by hand

Kitchen in the rear













Airstream Basecamp

It may be possible to park these anywhere but I think I might have chosen a little more scenic spot


Jayco Hummingbird, 1/2 ton towable with lots of features


Another option in the small, light market


On the other end of the spectrum we camped with Class A motorhomes so long and large, they dwarfed our 29' 5th wheel. Many of the upscale models have 5 slide outs, and one we parked near had a slide out balcony/deck. The trailers and/or 5th wheels in that size range are all pulled by 1 ton duelies, or we saw several using commercial tractors for this. These large rigs will not fit into most state or federal campgrounds, so they are limited to RV parks. For some travelers this works. For us, we thought our rig was pretty long, and very comfortable so in future, I can see us going smaller but not larger.

Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky: National Recreation Area and Elk & Bison Prairie

Once the dam was built, the Cumberland River side became Lake Barkley. It is incredibly beautiful here, and the development along the lake shores is carefully controlled so it remains a haven for wildlife. Woodland Station A person could spend a week hiking the trails through this area and visiting all the different wildlife areas. There is camping also in the NRA. Definitely something for future consideration! Outside the Woodland Station Just a few of the many trails Elk and Bison Prairie Originally this area was known for its excellent hunting which was a draw for white settlers in the 1800's. But alas, over time as more people came, the populations of elk, bison, deer, and game birds was dangerously reduced. Once the area became protected, animals were introduced and this 700 acre reserve was established. Wild Tur...
