Back when we got our first hard-sided camper, we started saying we needed to get one of those maps that RVers color in to show all the states they’ve stayed in. That was years ago, and we’ve only got around to installing the map this week.
That huge delay wasn’t entirely our fault. First, by the time we were in the market for a map, the only one available had the license plate design of each state as the background, instead of a solid color. We bought one of those, but when it arrived we simply didn’t like it. We kept it in a closet for a few years and finally threw it away.
When we got the one we just installed, we realized we had another problem.
It would have gone well on the back of our old trailer (and everyone on the highway could’ve seen where we’ve been) but the 5th wheel has a big picture window that takes up most of the back – no place to put it back there. So, the new map sat while we decided where to mount it on the new trailer.
Finally, we decided to just stick it on the entrance door.
Very few people will see it on the road (We don’t pass many folks with that 37 foot trailer back there.) and in a campground, only those who are coming to our site are likely to see it. Still, it’s there, it’s installed, and it’s proudly declaring that there are only 11 states in the lower 48 we haven’t been to yet.
