Hi there, name here is John

I don't currently have a "rig" but do lots of vehicle-based camping anyway with what I have. Hoping to change that at some point and will take advantage of the huge brain-share here to make suitable choices. Living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Looking forward to participating in this vibrant community!

My name is Mike.

1) Picture:roadvan.jpg
2) Location: Plano, Tx
3) Rig: 2016 Chrysler Town & Country
4) Experience: Accustomed to long haul family road trips. In 2016 we drove 4500 miles in 11 days. We visited Bridger Teton National Forest, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Portland Oregon, San Francisco California, Los Angeles California, and the South Rim Grand Canyon National Park before heading home to Plano, Tx.

I was a boy scout in my youth and have fond memories of camping out. My wife is happier around creature comforts like running water and air conditioning but is open to the idea of van camping. She also likes the idea of staying somewhere for a fraction of the price of a hotel room. =)

Looking forward to learning more and discovering new places to see and things to do.

Oh, also, we rarely travel without at least 2 of our 4 dogs. We have 2 Great Danes, a Chocolate Lab, and a St. Bernard/Great Pyrenees mix. We LOVE dog friendly destinations.
