Those who follow this blog know that about a year ago I bought an Airstream, and that perhaps I’ve gone a bit nuts over it.

Dozens of little repairs to keep it up, detailed plans to improve it, fancy insurance, membership in a half dozen RV clubs both Airstream only and general, magazine subscriptions both Airstream only and general. Perhaps most importantly it is getting used, a lot.

I’ve noticed that large numbers of RV owners don’t actually use their RV’s very much, but thus far I’m not fitting into that mold. It will have been slept in at least 60 nights in ’08, and likely well in excess of 100 nights in ’09.

I’ve always loved to travel, but prior to the Airstream my travel was usually confined to high-end hotels and resorts. Now that has changed. For me, the Airstream beats the hotel experience hands down if for no other reason than the convenience it offers. Perhaps the largest of conveniences is that without question the dogs can go. A former headache with any traveling has simply disappeared. They can tag along, and they love tagging along.

I have learned a great deal over this past year, and one thing I learned about was RV caravans and rallies. These are put on both by RV clubs, and private businesses that specialize in such events. In a caravan a number of RV’s travel together from spot to spot as they move across the country or even internationally, in a rally RV’s travel independently to a pre-selected spot then stay together for a generally short number of days.

Caravan’s can be very long ranging from a week or two into major commitments like the upcoming Airstream caravan that will travel from Cape Towne South Africa to Cairo Egypt.

Rallies are generally shorter events held over a weekend or a few days usually at a spot of great natural beauty.

On my recent trip down the Oregon Coast I thought about these rallies a bit.

If I were to attend one, I imagine that I would stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. A woman traveling in an intimate Airstream with two men, or on other occasions with three additional people two men and another woman. Our first trip was three fellows and me. You can imagine the looks such an arrangement might get from fellow club members, especially given that most of these clubs are specifically set up for husband/wife couples, and the fact that my Airstream was designed for folks without children. It’s just not set up like most are with separated sleeping areas for the adults and children or other traveling companions.

This got me to thinking, wouldn’t it be fun to create a group of pervert RVers such as myself?

Wouldn’t it be a kick to pick a nice park in a beautiful spot such as the Oregon Coast and advertise a rally there?

I’m not thinking about a specifically kinky event with seminars, play parties, and the like.

Rather I’m thinking only about an opportunity to travel with and RV with fellow kinky folks.

Poly, bdsm, gay, bi, swingers, any and all, the more the merrier. A vanilla gathering with decidedly non-vanilla people. New friendships could be made, new activities discovered.

Perhaps most importantly for many people would be an opportunity to get away without having to hide. An opportunity to get away while surrounded by folks who just don’t care that you have converted the back of your toy hauler into a dungeon. For that matter getting away surrounded by people who will admire your creativity.

I think that the idea may have merit, but I would love to hear opinions about it from those of you who join me here.
