We all know how much fun an RV can be and how it enables family memories for a lifetime. But for one little boy in Spokane, WA, finding a suitable RV could mean life-saving surgery.
Exploring Leisure Options - Manufactured Housing

RVs offer great leisure adventures but some people are often looking for a more permanent option for their vacations with something to place on their vacation property. Or, they may be looking for an economical “home-base” so that they can have more resources to travel in their RV. An alternative worth considering is a manufactured home.

It was not that long ago that we were tumbling down the stairs as we pushed our way through our brothers and sisters to get the prime seats in our family Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser station wagon. We were soon heading down the highway to our nation’s National Parks! Having our Highway Bingo cards in our laps as we crossed off the license plates of the cars we saw on our way to Yellowstone, we passed many miles with our family.

The inaugural Enumclaw RV Show will be held August 1st – 4th, 2019 at the Enumclaw Expo Center. This is the only multi-dealer RV show in Western Washington this summer featuring the majority of dealers from King and Pierce counties. This is the perfect opportunity to see and compare hundreds of RVs in one location plus learn more about the RV lifestyle. With multiple dealers competing for your business it is undoubtedly the best opportunity to purchase an RV before the Labor Day camping weekend.
What can you expect to see and do at the 2019 show? Let’s take a look.
Building Family Memories - Next Generation

Editor's Note - Congratulations to Emily and her husband Brad delivering a healthy baby girl on June 24th. Another little happy camper!
With baby number two soon on the way we’ve been taking our trailer out a lot this month to get some quality time with our family of three. Three times already! This trip took us to the church family camp of my husband’s church growing up. He’s been attending this since he was young so it’s been something our little family has enjoyed for years too. Now with our own little one we’ve been glad to carry on the tradition and watch him enjoy this time to the fullest. Our son loves being outside and exploring so we were really looking forward to enjoying this trip together and watching our precious little Nolan make memories at a place so near and dear to our hearts.
