A tent on a hunting trip caused a total lifestyle change for my parents. Dad and I got soaked in an old umbrella tent on a weekend of solid rain. It started leaking and Dad put a tarp over it. Water started coming under it and we quit 'hunting' and went home. Dad said screw this and built a cheap plywood camper on our '49 F100. A decade later, that morphed from cheap plywood, though several molts where it emerged as a store bought pickup shell, then a real truck camper, then through stages of camp trailers. It eventually reached motorhome size and my parents retired to be RVers. It all started with that tent.
