Hi Mark,

When (a long time ago in a galaxy far away) my Dad bought my Mom a 1971 camper in 1980, I thought it was a weird duck. I was a teenager into tent camping and canoeing/hiking at the time and didn't see the point of sleeping in a vehicle. (Now I know better)

It's a car... No, it's an RV... No, it's a mile clubhouse...

It's a transformer, plain and simple. What it transforms into; that's the secret world.

Happy Trails,
