HUNKERED IN OUR BUNKERS
Needless to say, it’s been a trying time for
everyone. For now, the RV manufacturing
industry continues to tick along, albeit at a
significantly reduced pace, while the travel
plans you and I had made lay dormant.
Caravanners who are on the road full-time
and who have no fixed address have found
things especially… interesting. Anecdotally,
some managed to bunker down in a holiday
park that has been happy to have them, while
others have been deemed a covid-19 risk and
told to bugger off.
We’ve seen signs posted on freeways telling
travellers they aren’t welcome in that
community. We’ve seen life-savings spent on
toilet paper. We’ve seen idiots intentionally

cough on fruit and vegetables in supermarkets
because, as I said, they’re idiots.
So. How was your Easter?
We set-up some tents in our backyard and even
had a little fire going for the marshmallows. It
wasn’t quite the same but these are not times
for complaining. Rather, we’re all making the
best of a strange but necessary situation.
As we wonder when things will return to
normal, now is a great time to start our travel
planning. Much will depend on when and
where travel restrictions are relaxed. My
family and I are staying flexible, ready to hit
the road as soon as we’re able.
I’ll see you out there. Eventually.
