A compact RV...


We had a fun lunch out with Mike and MJ - the food was good, the conversation even better.  After lunch, we went our separate ways; shopping on both agendas.  Before heading to the store, I suggested we take a drive through the county RV park on the south end of South Padre Island - it is a good indicator of how busy the area is... a week ago, there were a lot of empty RV spaces in that park.  Today was a different story.  About 80 to 90% occupied.  That's good for the local economy.

It wasn't particularly busy at the restaurant where we ate, but there was traffic around town, and other places seemed to have cars in the parking lots.

I have mentioned that we are looking for a smaller RV.  We saw this while driving through Isla Blanca (the country park)...


At first glance, it looks like a small 5th wheel being pulled by a SmartCar.  No, it is a pickup camper, off the truck, and the SmartCar is just parked under the cab-over portion of the camper.  That would be compact, though.  ;-)

I remember seeing a video of a Volkswagen bug pulling a Small 5th wheel camper with the hookup on the roof and yes he could turn 360° without turning the camper. LOL

Found it
