Thus we needed a camper that would offer shelter and a few amenities without requiring a new truck to pull it or a second mortgage to pay for it. Enter Lil Red. A 17 foot travel camper by Riverside Retro RV. I first laid eyes on her at the St. Louis RV show in January. In February, I took Leah to see her on the lot at Bourbon RV in Bourbon, Missouri. Now it’s March and we are proud to adopt Lil Red into our family.
