When you think of a camper from the years 1940 to 2000, a Shasta camper might come to mind. These are the simple campers that you pull behind a truck. They are not overdone with all of the amenities that you would find in an RV. However, they are ideal for taking a family vacation to the mountains or even camping in your back yard. As years have went by, the design of the Shasta camper has changed. The basic design is still there, but there have been some upgrades that make the camper safer and more enjoyable for your family. Many of the appliances that are in the camper are steel. This design was done so that the camper could resemble the modern look of many homes. After the camper was introduced, there were wings added to the back. These wings were removed for about three years, but they have recently been added back to the camper. If you purchase a Shasta camper, you can add electronics to the inside, or you can have a camper that has nothing but a small sleeping area. Larger versions of the camper come with an LCD television as well as electric appliances such as a microwave and dishwasher. You can add more appliances if you get a camper that has more inside. There are several things that you can do with a Shasta camper on your trip. You can't drive it to where you need to go unless you have a truck, but you can park the camper and use it for any length of time. One advantage of not driving these campers is that you can leave them set up at a campsite until you are ready to take your vacation. The campers don't use gas to operate. Most of them have propane that is used to cook. The shower of the camper has been modified so that it drains easily and there is more room. The decorations on the inside of the camper have improved as well so that the camper is more appealing to the eye.
