| "No more rocks, Lucy!" You know this little line if you have ever watched "The Long, Long Trailer" with Lucille Ball & Desi Arnez. Several weeks ago I quite trying to hide the supplies and decorating do-dads from Vernon. The pile just keeps growing with bedding, appliances, storage containers, fans, art work and vintage collectibles. I really need to get it out of the Man Cave and into my trailer. Soon.....Toto's exterior makeover will be finished and she'll come home to get nicely outfitted. Then off to camp we go! |
Meet "Toto's Tin Can," a 1959 Oasis travel trailer. This sweet thing was built in Bellflower, CA and has lived a good life. She is in excellent condition and loves to go for drives. Follow us on this Blog to see where Toto will travel and what adventures she will see!

In Search Of Sanitation
 |
| When I was growing up and camping with my parents, we used a 5 LB coffee can for our night-time potty needs. As my sisters and I will tell you, none of us to this day drink coffee. Go figure! So now the search is on for a real porta-potty suitable for Toto's Tin Can. Nothing fancy, nothing big, just needs to do the job. Discreetly. |
