Truck Campers – It’s Road Trip Time

Road Trip sIGN

 When you come to a fork in the road, take it. 

Yogi Berra, 2002


Why go on a road trip?  Because they are adventures that you create.  Each road trip will create a different bond between family members while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Each road trip will bring new adventures you cannot experience while sitting on your couch at home.

How easy is it to plan a road trip?  You can plan road trips to where you and the family have never been while seated at your kitchen table.

Deciding where to go and researching what there is to see along the way is half the fun.  You may discover places that you never heard of before.  Setting your flexible timetable for each stop knowing that you can change the itinerary as you travel.

Become spontaneous for a change.  Unleash your imagination.  Do it while you can.
