Overview

From the perspective of the Crowded Camper Mom, this story chronicles the first six months of full-time living in an RV for an adventurous military family. Leaving her home behind to keep the family with their Military Man, an Air Force search and rescue pilot, she details the chaos of packing seven living bodies (counting the two small kids, two huge dogs and a grumpy fish) into 41 feet of space called home. Enduring the worst winter Arkansas had seen in decades in a fifth wheel with walls thinner than paper, they battle ice storms, exploding appliances, flaming space heaters and their retired military bomb dog (Arco). He may have once found bombs in the military, but now he drops bombs of the fecal kind throughout the expanse of their living space. Whether he is counter surfing or chasing deer, Arco's stories will make you laugh out loud, as much as the stories about their children's antics, the rest of their pets, and the bonds between them will bring you great joy and warm your soul. At the end of the day you will feel good about life, love and relationships, while you experience theirs in a house made for garden gnomes.

Author Information

Rebecca Dickey is a graduate of Mississippi State University and a former Air Force officer. She went from earning a bronze star medal in combat to being a stay at home mom after marrying her college best friend. Taking their lives on the road so they could keep the family together, she realized there were many questions about living in a camper that were going unanswered. Like, did your fish die of constipation and frigid temps in your camper? Ours did, can anyone relate? Because nothing existed in the universe that explained crowded camper living, Dickey decided to share the whole truth of their own experience. It was unfortunate about the first fish, she reflected. This is Dickey's first book, typed at midnight in the only semi-private location within a 41 foot camper, the bathroom. The second half of their journey, The Crowded Camper goes to Albuquerque is due out in 2015.
