Airstream Olympics....now THAT would some real interesting competition. I am thinking the events would include
Syncronized polishing
Speed backing
Speed hitching
Slalom national park/campground courses
Seam sealing

Polished aluminum medals for the winner!

Under "Speed Backing" and "Speed Hitching" there are probably two categories that you will need to consider: "Singles" and "Doubles" .......

Speed relaxing and drink sipping sounds like my kind of event.

Mental might be the something you can support. I bear the physical scars from making that corner bed trying to avoid the closets that hung at the end of each bed
