"they don't make them like they used to":

over 15 years ago, we were due for Xmas at Mike's mother house.

Cold, like we didn't have often in Philadelphia. The car could not start. A belt broke when trying to start the old Dodge van.

His mother came and picked us up with the 1954 or 55 Chevy she had inherited from an aunt. The proverbial "car with few miles, driven by a little old lady."

What I remember about that car: it was roomy and warm, not like the Xmas trip we did years later with our car: no heater, no defroster.... had to drive with windows partially open.... snow blowing in our face.

serious boondockin'

I think it is nice when a vehicle is matched to the year of the trailer, here is my '72 Caravel with my tow vehicle, the same year LRV. Only problem I had was the electrical connector, NASA's Mil-Spec multi pin connectors are tough to adapt, Had to go to a U-haul in Houston to find one.

It's only 1HP (a 1/4HP motor on each wheel), but the campsites I usually visit have less gravity than most, so the trailer isn't that heavey.

Oh by the way, does anyone know why I cant get the refrigerator to work on propane? It doesn't seem to wanna light... come to think of it, when I was at the site where I snapped this picture I couldn't get the stove to light either.
