Before the trailer we have now we had a small tent trailer – nothing fancy – in fact no fridge, furnace or hot water heater…therefore no shower or toilet in it either. Two beds – table to eat at and a small counter area. Most of what we did therefore was outside.
I was going through some photos lately and I came across a couple that really illustrated how basic was our set up! You’ll see the oven is a toaster oven on a tv tray. The stove attached to the side of the trailer and we did all our cooking off of it. We had to boil all our water – even for doing the dishes.

We towed with our 1998 Dodge Caravan – just a 3L engine with a 3 speed transmission. But it didn’t cost much and we had a good time covering much of the eastern coast and then in these days the west coast.
