In Indonesia we called it an "Ulak"( I don't know if the spelling is right.<br />You asked if we camped every holiday! Yes, we loved it. It was cheap and we were free to choose a place. Besides the last 25 years we had a trailertent, which was very comfortable with 2 double beds, a table and benches around the table. When we arrived at a campsite we could put up the tent on the trailer in 10 minutes. The beds were then already made. It was easy when we were on our way to sit in it and have a meal or coffee. It was beautiful!Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-38776260558806511762010-10-12T22:42:12.237-07:002010-10-12T22:42:12.237-07:00Pharmacists used to use them, too.
