Confused about terms

[jeepster04]

yeah, well... when I started this whole InterWeb, Texting, Posting thingie [years ago], I though "LOL" meant "Lots of Love"... couldn't figure out why folks were getting WAY TOO PERSONAL with me... but, then again, I STILL seem to amaze my DW with my thought pattern... I've been told that my mind is a very scary and dangerous place and that I should never go in there alone... wait for it… LOL

Happy Trails!

PS: @Suebee222 .. nice rig!

Its not funny but it really is. Someone had a family member die and someone was saying LOL on their facebook page b/c they thought it meant lots of love. Everyone else thought they were laughing b/c someone died. haha

SWMBO was first used here by UKDiamond001 in September 2018.

It was used before then by a different former member..

Maybe. First time I saw it and added it to the list.

I'll never be able to see DW or DH and not think someone is camping with their dead wife or dead husband.

Is that a Freudian thing?

 

[Nimron]

That is a great looking little TT!

 

[Jim Harvey]

Nice pup. Ours is a '95 Arcadia.

Well Folks, when I see all of these letter codes for things it make me thank about the government and all of their BS, they alone makes me want to puke. Puke is short for vomit>)

high top is a regular van that you now can stand up in

I'm definitely not a new camper, I've camped all my life. However I am new to some of the terms being bandied about in the Forums.
A pop-up is a pup is a hard top canvas-walled trailer, right? In Canada that's tent trailer.
Is a tent trailer a TT ?and how is that different from a pop-up?
What is a hightop?
For the last year I have had a vintage 1984, made in Canada, Bonair; it is 7 feet long and adorable!! Attached is a picture of Polly TT (pronounced pi, like the mathematical term!). She is a hit wherever we go!

I made it out camping nine times this year, definitely a new record!! It was the only thing that felt normal in these strange times.

As another Canadian, I've known them as Tent Trailers my whole life as a well.

 

[Strawhouse]

I saw this Bonair at Ferris PP, Campbellford ON at Thanksgiving. The owner said that it is a 1984 as well.

So many of these abbreviations remind me of the "mom blogs" that everyone seemed to do about 10 years ago, and how I wanted to rip out my brain if I ever accidentally started reading one. You know the ones, who would share every single cutsey detail of their precious snowflakes lives to the world, but only refer to them by the first letter of their name for "privacy" lol.

It looks cool, we have an aliner camper, their hard sided, and you have to manually pop them up. Maybe that's where that term for aliners came from? They have to be stored upright, because of heavy duty springs. Weve only tent camped, so this is a new experience for us.

Thank You for asking... I am Definitely* a Newbie! Wasn't sure of these Terms as well... I live just across the, " Peace Bridge Border" in,"South Buffalo", area..
Nice to meet You. Just bought a 1982 Coleman popup tent trailer, Nov. 7th... haven't camped (yet*)
Looking for reasonable* places to go.. I do have the pass where I can go to Canada. I like your Awning did you purchase it and, if you dont mind,... Where? Your camper is CUTE... Mine needs a lot of upgrading I Think*(???) Its Sound tho' .. if you have any suggestions for a older tent Camper... please let me know ok. Thank You

Looking for reasonable* places to go..

A lot of great inexpensive State Parks in N.Y.. Well when compared to Ontario.. Although, with the exchange rate you would get, Ontario Provincial Parks would be pretty cheap for you..

I do have the pass where I can go to Canada.

When the border is open again, take a look at the Ontario Rallies.. Normally try to have at least 3 each season.. By far our biggest one is the Ontario Summer Rally, usually held around or near Canada Day and Snows Day ...{ errrr the Fourth of July for our American friends}... Until the borders open, checkout the rallies in N.Y State and surrounding.. great way to meet people...

I like your Awning did you purchase it and, if you dont mind,... Where?

I don't have the link handy, but if you google "Rope and Pole awning manufactures" or a variation of that, you should find a few companies that make the old style awnings..

 

[ree]

Thank You Again Snow
Just went to, "Rope and Pole"
Thank You for the suggestion...
They are really Nice!
Sure Hope this Maddness will end Soon! I'm anxious for the Border to Open!!! Thank You, You are Very kind to Help.me out with all this...

Hey @ree... a fellow WNY'er buttin' in [if you don't mind]... if you haven't already looked them up, as for New York, check out this link... https://www.campadk.com/campsitephotos/ .... Dave [the ADMIN] has spent a few years taking multiple PICS of each campsite... has helped us, tremendously, in picking a site!!

Allegany State Park is easy to get to... just hop on the 219 and you'll be there in an hour, or less. Of course, there's Letchworth, Stony Brook State Park, Keuka Lake and Hamlin Beach State Park. Those 5 we've used as our "quick getaway" destinations... they are BEAUTIFUL and they're all under 2 hours from Buffalo [we're Northtowners].

Happy Trails!

 

[ree]

Hiiiii Mark...
Thank* You * Sooooo Much! For that Awesome* web page you gave me. Definitely* Bookmarked !!! Probably spent a Good hour (So far*) I loved it, and Really Appreciate, You sending this Thank You again. ..
I'm Sooo happy to start this, can't Wait till May 21... just hope this maddness is over lol
