Objection #1: I don't have a trailer!

Sep 1, 2024 | girlcamper.com | Janine Pettit

For those that believe that girl camping is all about the trailer I would like to share with you some pictures of women whose spirit is bigger than their budgets. They are not letting the lack of a trailer stop them from having girl fun. I really admire these women who have a very “can do” attitude and just want to be out there doing things and going places. They join in all the fun without the worry of towing and leveling and hooking up and backing in.

My dream has come true ! Shasta is reissuing their iconic 1961 Airflyte! One of my favorite all time travel trailers. The reissue was designed in honor of the company’s 75th anniversary and will meet all current building codes while mantaining the vintage appeal right down to the log cabin siding and jalousie windows.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 41:02 — 16.4MB)Subscribe: RSSI am wrapping up the coverage on my big trip to the Arizona desert to camp in January. It was on my “to do” list for so long and I enjoyed every minute of it. Unlike some bucket list items, this dispersed camping is not a “one and done” thing. I know I will make it part of my winter for a long time to come.

Objection #2 - I don't know how to tow - Girl Camper

Sep 1, 2024 | girlcamper.com | Janine Pettit

Many women we meet at campgrounds and events express the most wonderment over the fact that we towed the trailers to our location by ourselves. They can’t imagine doing that. In overcoming this objection (which is really fear) I want to first focus on the bewildering aspect. Everything that we don’t know how to do holds a sense to us, that there is some secret skill or God given attribute that the person who knows how to do it has that we don’t.

Attached Awning Tutorial

Sep 1, 2024 | girlcamper.com | Janine Pettit

I have had many requests for a tutorial on the outdoor awnings I create in my campers. Here is the FYI on how I did them. This is the seam on the roof where the two roof panels come together. There are barely visible screws there where you know there will be wood underneath. In my case when I had this camper gutted I sistered a piece of wood to the existing piece because I knew I was going to do this.
