Market Friday

in #marketfriday7 years ago (edited)

Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (That is me, Denise!)

Come join us as we share wonderful markets from all over the world. I find it simply fascinating and would love to see yours! So don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery, antiquing, art galleries. wherever! Don't forget to use the hashtag #marketfriday and @dswigle.

Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found. They will all be in one place!! Thank you!

Guess where we are going today? Any takers? Anybody? Even I wasn't sure until the other day... Then, it just sort of happened. I walked in to check out some fun. Oh, I remember some wonderful moments that were had as we rolled down the highway, on our way to fun. Let's see what we can find.

Here. Take a flower. It is a good way to start your day off. Okay, now let's head to this place and see what we can see.

Welcome to Camping World. Bet you didn't see that one coming. I think we need to do a shelf check on camping vehicles today. They have come a long way, baby! I haven't been in a while, so I was mildly surprised by the sweet upgrades that they have come out with. Come with me, we''ll take a walk through the showroom of wonder.

I walked into this showroom with wall to wall campers. Just looking can be such an overwhelming experience for an unseasoned camper. They immediately ply me with questions. How many will you be sleeping, what is your budget? (a nice way of saying - how much money you have to spend?)

Where were we going with it? Are you using it for local fun? Are you taking it to Disney world? Will you do a cross-country trip to all of the State and National Parks?

My expectations have been met and passed. Self-contained and I can move about the vehicle while someone is driving on the road.

Most of these will have a commode and a shower, a kitchen, couches and some have the overhead sleeping for additional people. Some of the couches and tables convert into beds. I am not a huge fan of the over the cab campers as I think they are more challenging to drive, but, I know lots of people that love them.

This one even has a television on the outside, for the nights when you are all sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows and wanting to watch the Patriots play. Hey... no judging! We like the Pats.

These are built on truck chassis, so they are extremely strong and can hold a large group or family of people. They are what they call a mid-sized Recreational Vehicle.

So many different options for the amenities of these. This one even has bunk beds that can be folded away when you don't need them.

This is a bus, like a Trailways, except made into a camper. A sweeeet one! I am not sure I have ever seen one this nice! Come on lets take a look inside.

I was mesmerized by this. It has marble floors that we heated. A full-size refrigerator, a stove, a dishwasher, a washer and dryer, a microwave, granite countertops... Should I stop? Four big screen televisions. A navigation system, solar power, runs on diesel, king size bed. I cannot name everything. That is where it starts.

The bathroom was marble and the ceilings were suede. Granite table and regular chairs. Of course, there were six sliders and they push in when traveling, but, it was wider when I was parked and they were open. I think I could have lived there except I do like having a house without wheels. Perhaps that is just me.

I go home, completing my #MarketFriday... a little different than normal, but, nevertheless, a fun day indeed. I wish every market day could be like this.

Well, thank you as always for coming along with me to my #MarketFriday adventure. I hope that you had one too. I look forward to reading them! Don't forget to peruse the other Markets that are linked below!They are from all over the world and I must say, quite interesting in so many ways. Enjoy!!

Thank you for posting Denise.

What an eye opener......lovely photographs....of caravans and your flowers .....as always. ^_^

Very fun......thank you.…for taking Steemians to Market Friday.

All the best to you. XOX

Thank you for perusing the Caravans on #MarketFriday! It certainly surprised these eyes with the heated floors and dishwasher- as you are rolling down the highways!

It is always a good day when I get a visit from @bleujay. Thank you for coming and supporting my weekly challenge. You are the best! A wonderful weekend to you! XOXO tip!

What a lovely surprise Denise......thank you for your kind words and generosity.

Wishing you a lovely weekend. Cheers.

Have you ever considered making all these comments on one post could be considered spam, I would suggest you should be careful and try making real and relevant comments

I wish my son in law will make lots of money soon and buy one of these, lol. Can you imagine Denise how much fun we could have with the the twins???Wow!!! I would love that.

I am also laughing because these luxurious RV's remind me of the movie MEET THE FOCKERS, LOL!!! Wonderful entry my Dear and here is my. https://busy.org/marketfriday/@lenasveganliving/kiehl-s-for-market-friday sorry I am late 🌸💖🌸

I can only imagine how much fun the twins would have!LOL Did you see the one with the bunk beds or the one that had a ladder to climb up to a loft? Now we are talking!

I was looking at the bus with the heated floors and dishwasher. That would make a sweet ride across country!

No worries! I will still have more coming in tomorrow! Have a great weekend! tip!

These RV's can also be rented right? I would satisfy to just go on one trip with them when they get older. Will see and thank you so much Denise 🌸💖🌸

Hehe! This was such a fun place to go to. There were so many options for so many pocketbooks. I was over-the-moon with the one with marble floors!

Wowsers!

I think it could pull your boat unless you have a yacht? In that case, can I come and ride with you??? Some of these you could live in, but, they will always be able to roll along the highway. I don't want to live in one, but, for sightseeing through the country, count me in!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! It's that time of the week again! Thank you for coming! tip!

so much to do, so little boze..my my :P ^^

looks amazing in there, I would love to live there!!

I loved it and it was better than some houses I have lived in, but, the temporary feel of it would not feel forever to me.

Although that bus with the heated floors! Yes, please!

Everything was electric in it and even the front seats were like kicking back in your easy chair in your own living room. Need to work remotely? Press a button and a work-station comes out to accommodate you. It was an over-the-top fantasy shopping trip.

There were some more reasonably priced ones, but, after the bus, there was no going back! LOL

Awesome post Denise! I've been to a couple of RV Shows and they are always fun. My husband and I are considering a pop-up...maybe next year! I think I may post something to #MarketFriday soon = )

I would love that! It is so fun to see what people will come up with. As you can see, it is quite fine to use your imagination, or go right ahead and take us shopping with you!

A pop-up is plenty of fun! Oh, I love going to the different National Parks! We have such a beautiful world and what a wonderful way to see it!

Thank you for stopping by! You are so awesome! tip!

I have an idea where to go = )
Thank you so much Denise!! You are pretty dang awesome too!!

It is amazing how far RV's have come over the last 20 years. Heck even 10 years!

Haha! Isn't that the truth! When I was looking, there was a couple that was looking to buy one for a trip to the Grand Tetons. I mean, who wouldn't want to?

I walked over to them and whispered in their ear, "why not rent it for one trip." It had never occurred to them. Seriously.

But, yes. Heated floors and solar? Yes, please! Thanks for coming along! Shopping is so much more fun with a group! tip!

It is amazing. They are like small homes. There is no such thing as roughing it with those RV's that is for sure. Also, thanks for the tip Denise.

My pleasure! Roughing it? I know, right?

Thank you so much, Isabel! Love your photography! tip!

Thanks, thanks, my dear Denise!

Now that's the kind of present I would want for my next birthday ! It's basically like a palace on wheels !

It really is! When I walked into the bus, it was like a real house, heated marble floors and all! :)
Camping has come a long way from pitching a tent in the woods. I'm with you.
I may have to have to whisper in Santa's ear about this one.

Hehe 😂 I hope santa will get your message

Me too! :)

Those are all beyond beautiful. I would take any of them. You sure are raising the bar for these market Friday posts. I want one!

I know, right? I would take any one of them too, but that one with the heated floors and the solar power sure revs my engine!

I have no idea who dreams up these things, but I want to live inside their head! A little button pushed on the passenger side and out comes a workstation with plugs included for power - so that you can sightsee and telecommute.

A dishwasher? Washer and dryer - all in one unit for ease? I'm on board!

Everyone is making such amazing posts, it is hard to keep up with you people! Thanks for the visit! It is always a great day when I get a visit from the ~~Old Man~~~old-guy-photos! tip!

this a wonderful place to visit, I must admit that I was always attracted by these big vehicles, we are a family that we love being outdoors, it was always our dream to have such a unit.
congratulations for this nice visit. the images are amazing
I wish you a beautiful market Friday dear friend @dswigle

I was so amazed by these beautiful vehicles! My family loves the outdoors and we spend as much time as possible there. This big one is beyond what I ever thought was capable and it is actually built on a bus chassis, so it will be dependable for the rest of our lives!

I was taken back by the heated floors and the solar power! Wow!

Thank you so much for visiting my #MarketFriday! I am truly blessed with such awesome friends that are so supportive. Have a wonderful weekend! tip!

Puh leaseSheesh! These sure look a lot more luxurious than the campers and trailers we had growing up, don't they @dswigle I thought the expression is "roughing it"?! Heated floors. Omg. And an outside tv? Better not let @pipurilla see this RV! Ok, Denise, dare I ask what the sticker price was for this beauty??? @dswigle Terrific post btw! Happy Friday, Beautiful!🚐📸🚐

Camper of Wonder everywhere?Haha! You hit the nail right on the head! I was thinking of @pipurilla when I was making this post! Who else takes his

I was flabbergasted at the amount of luxury here! Hello? I mean, I am tenter under normal circumstances. We have owned an RV until we moved to Europe and couldn't bring it with us. But, nothing like this at all!

Heated floors? Washer/Dryer? Solar power? Marble floors? Granite countertops? Full-size refrigerator? Dishwasher?

Oh, be real! You can ask the sticker price! I checked! LOL When it was built, it cost over a million dollars. Of course, I haven't given you everything that it has, it has truly amazing (one million $$ worth? NO!) But, even though it doesn't look it, it is seven years old and the price has been brought down to more affordable (??) $440,000.00 USD

So cough it up, sister! I'll go halves with you! :) Love to you, my friend! XOXO tip!

ooooo, how do you know my weakness? I love them and how beautiful they are,
my entrance for you, beautiful


xoxo https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@txatxy/market-friday-gloves-and-hats-by-txatxy

They are so amazing! You are right!!! I could not believe that there is something that can carry a washer/dryer and dishwasher down the highway!

Happy #MarketFriday, Beauty! I will go visit Balboa now! :) tip!

I love this idea of a house on wheels.You can go anywhere.But where I come from its not yet popular.
And here is my market friday.An Indian Craft Bazaar.
https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@silenteyes/market-friday-warning-you-might-get-tired-scrolling-down-and-down-coz-there-are-loooots-of-pics

Thank you. This is actually for vacation or holiday. There are a few people who live in them, but I would say most travel in them.

Thank you for visiting on #MarketFriday and I am on my way over to check out your Indian Craft Bazaar! Have a wonderful Saturday! tip!

My wives dad works part-time transporting these. I guess they have a big sales lot about an hour away and he can log on an app, pick an rv to drive, drive it to his destinate, and drive back in his hhr (is towed on the back of whatever RV).

Nice!! These Recreational Vehicles really wowed me. I grew up in the era of the tent and a small, bare-bones RV that the parents bought as they got older, which at the time meant, perhaps 35 or 36. They have come a long way, baby!

Heated floors? Solar power? Marble floors? Granite countertops? Full-size refrigerator? Dishwasher?

Have I been living under a rock? Well, you are probably not as taken with these as I am if you are used to them, but, I am pretty sure my mouth is still hanging open in awe. :)

Thanks for taking the trip to the #MarketFriday fun day. It is always better with a crowd! tip!

Yes you were right!!! I do love your Market Friday adventure! This just confirms my desire to invest in an RV. I’ve been saying for a long time we need to get one. Thank you for taking us inside and capturing some awesome features! They are so luxurious now!! 😃😍. Heated floors?...oh yea count me in lol!

I know, right?? OMGosh!

Heated Floors! Granite Countertops! Dishwasher! Washer/Dryer? Solar Panels? Hello??

I am ready to get another one! Although, if you don't use them enough, renting them is a much better deal! Thanks for going on the shopping trip, although this time, we merely went window shopping!

Oh, yeah!! I am with you. Let's stand in the Santa Claus line! tip!!

Yes!!! I can’t believe all of the features they include!! That’s a good tip! I guess I need to rethink how often we would use them...🤔 renting doesn’t sound bad either.

this was such an interesting post, I have often joked with family about packing everything up buying an RV and touring the contry some day, some real nice options for that in this post althjough most likely out of my budget LOL

ps here is my post for Marker Friday

https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@tattoodjay/market-friday-artisan-market-on-the-green-post-2

Thank you so much, JJ! Oh, I agree with you! We used to have one and toured all over the United States, but had to sell it off when we moved to Europe. But, it was the most amazing thing, although, there were no hearted floor or granite.

Sorry, it has taken me so long to get here, it has been a crazy day.

It doesn't have to be out of your budget. Most savvy shoppers will rent one for a one-time tour of the United States, as it makes no sense to put all that $$ into it. Check it out! It may be a nice retirement present for yourself!

Off to check out your market! tip!

Thanks for the info, its something I will for sure look into, it may be an option like you say

HOw you keep up with all the posts and steemusa etc is beyond me your amazing my friend

Oh, the Bigger pot calling the kettle black! :)

I would love to live in one of those RVs..I don't need much space, and I am small so it would bit me perfectly :-)

https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@icybc/market-friday-the-fate-of-fresh-cut-flowers

I love them, but, living in a house on wheels, there are way cheaper ways. Unless there is the thought of going to use it for traveling?

I can spread out or keep it small, I am pretty flexible like that. Thanks for perusing the campers at their #MarketFriday! It was awesome! :) tip!

That was so much fun! I used to go to those twenty years ago they sure have come a long way thanks for taking us with you! Great pictures😊

Haven't they? So unbelievable! I was totally blown away by the heated floors. I mean it. I keep saying it, but, they are a rarity even in houses.

But, the dishwasher and washer and dryer? Hello? Yes, please! I know that Santa will get just the right color. Am I asking too much? LOL

Thanks, Ceci! I had a great time with everyone showing up and coming to Camping World. It was a blast! Have a great weekend and keep on Steemin! xoxo tip!

I have never been passionate about camping. I do not know why. What you present here is far beyond what I've imagined about caravans. I like to look at them and thank you for giving me the opportunity to see. I think this kind of trip involves some kind of association ... I like loneliness. My posting today is also about vacation: https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@bluemoon/marketfriday-not-my-market-ladies-first

These caravans are much bigger than what I am used to with all of the fancy, amazing things. Camping can be whatever you want it to be. It doesn't have to be with an association. Many times, people go camping to live among nature. The peace, the quiet, the beauty of it all.

Have a great night, Dan. tip!

Thank you twice. Still don't like camping.

Oh, my! I have to admit, that made me smile! Hi, Dan~ Looks like there is no changing your mind on this one.

That is okay. We can agree to disagree on this. ;) I am pretty sure we can still be friends. ;)

This is the only way to check Friendship! I'm also sure that we will remain friends!!! There are many things we reject before we try them out. This is my case. Many times, "after", I changed my mind. Now, I only think I don't like camping...never tried, I have friends who love but I don't understand. I only wanted to be honest with me and you. I could have said that I would love to have such a caravan car and to ride America like John Steinbeck. It was a positive comment! I do not like the positive for the sake of the positive ... too much sugar!

How did you know I do not like sugar?? Never have. Tell me what you mean, not what you think I want to hear! Now that is fair! Right?

That is exactly why I like you!

Thanks! I know that's what you want ... and that's what I did. It is a trick also, only this way can test the real friends ( Facebook brought another connotation of friendship), I like the old time type of friendship. This does not exclude being polite and does not rule out the possibility of mistake. About the auto caravans you posted here, of course are a dream for anyone but I didn't see me to drive something like that, it's an American lifestyle and I'm not used to it. Living in the small country and the needs are smaller!

Wow! We tried camper living one winter. For the money, you can pay for a lot of first class VRBOs, or B&Bs and let someone else cook your breakfast! So not for me, but these are always fun to see! And a great shopping trip for Market Friday!

Oh, I would not want to live in one, but, I am not opposed to taking a cross-country hike to all of the National Parks I could find. I would probably want to shoot myself living in it in one spot.

On the other hand, I love to be waited on and would be okay with someone cooking and cleaning for me. Thank you so much or your support! Thank you always! tip!

Hehehehe! This sounds like it should be fun! I hope you have a wonderful day! tip!

Wow the interior of the last one got absolutely my attention! Great #marketfriday Denise! Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you so much for your support of #MarketFriday! I am so wowed by the interior of the last one too. I want those heated floors!!!

Thank you so much and of course, it is always a pleaure to see you! tip!

That last one was right in my price range lol

made before midnight by a lot :) here is my entry for today https://busy.org/marketfriday/@mariannewest/shopping-for-produce

Hahaha! You and me both! LOL They are cool looking and a fun way to visit the country! Thank you for your awesome support!

And before midnight! Stop spoiling me! :) tip!

https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@hangin/6uph9k-marketfriday-initiated-by-dswigle-street-market-thailand

Thanks for your support! tip!

Its inside similar to home

They really are! But, they are used as travel caravans instead of using a hotel. Have a great day, Roky! tip!

That does look like a fun place to wander about and dream. Thanks for sharing your day out with us. (That last "camper" was a doozy, I'll take 2...)

I know, right?

Heated Floors! Granite Countertops! Dishwasher! Washer/Dryer? Solar Panels? Hello?? Hello??

I can't even fathom some of it! Although, you are right! Oh, sir?

I'll take two! tip!

Thank you muchly. It's nicer than my house, by far. (Plus my house won't go anywhere, which I guess is good ( :
