I look forward to every weekend because I know Dennis will be posting an episode. He never disappoints. Great content, quality, production and especially presentation! Cheers.
I remember the Open Road chassis mount truck campers so well from my childhood. My parents decided to buy an RV in the late 1960s, and finally made the final decision on a new pickup-based camper in 1969. Everything was special ordered, and I was hoping for an Open Road with its cool patio (I was ten years old at the time). I was a little disappointed when the rig arrived as it was a standard 8.5-foot slide-in cabover truck camper. During the next three seasons we would learn that my father hated camping, that my mother hated driving the pickup truck, and that my mother and I loved traveling. In 1971 that truck camper was traded in on a 1971 Buick Sportwagon and cabin tent and my mother and I would make numerous tent camping trips with that setups before the Buick was sold in 1979. I sill think the Open Road is among the most desirable RV products on the road in my mind, it is up there with Travco, Argosy, Airstream, and Avion.
we used to be able to get real good reliable and cool vehicle in the USA, then they wanted to give exporters a break and send their cars here for nothing, so USA makers had to compete and this is what we got, imagine if we just ignored foreign automobiles and kept our wealth here in the USA? what cars we would have and what quality of life we would have.. I guess that all boils down to competent leadership, haven't had a competent leadership since what Lincoln? just imagine had they continued the R&R on these things as apposed to discontinuing? meanwhile abroad they still get all kinds of cool vehicle SOME MADE BY US MAKERS!!!! leadership people, this isn't rocket science stop falling for their garbage abortions and gay BS.. we have bigger and better fish to dry, LIKE QUALITY OF LIFE!
