"Classic" look RVs

It is always fun to see all the different RVs in a campground. At Lake Park this week, there are a few that I think are neat looking... I can't always tell whether they are new rigs that are made in a classic style or actually old rigs...

This was one of the first I noticed - the name on the side says "Terry Classic", so this is a new rig made to mimic a classic design: https://www.heartlandrvs.com/brands/travel/terry-classic

I think this Winnebago is also a new RV built on a classic design (https://winnebagoind.com/products/class-a-gas/2015/brave/overview/) -- but I'm not sure about the Airstream trailer next to it...

Another shot of the Airstream...

And another shot of the Winnebago.
This is another Airstream trailer in the campground... I am pretty sure it is a new one, but I can't say why I think that! One thing is, it is parked in the 50A section, and the other one, next to the Winnebago, is parked in the 30A section. This campground does not like to put RVs that are normally 50A in the 30A section... so that would tend to make me think that the one in this picture is newer than the one next to the Winnebago Brave.

This form of a "pop-up" is an interesting unit. It is hard-sided, so can be used in places where other pop-ups (with canvas sides) are not allowed - like in National Parks where there may be bears.

A view of the other side of the A-frame pop-up. We got to see inside one that was parked next to us a year or 18 months ago when we were first at Hickory Creek - up the road from here. The folks in it were a couple and they were weekend RVers. It appeared it would be comfortable for weekends and for no more than 2 folks. The thing to consider is that, when it is being towed, it is just a couple of feet high - so all your "stuff" has to fit into the floor space that remains once the frame comes down.
At first I thought this one had a website on the side, so was thinking that it is a retro design on a new rig...
... but the name I saw was "American Clipper" and all I can find online is an owners page of motorhomes built in the 1970s and 1980s (http://www.americanclipperownersclub.com/index.html). The pictures there are mostly of Class C type rigs - built on a van/truck type platform - while this one looks like a class A... but I think it is an older rig, not a retro new rig.

This is a new rig - a Tiffin Allegro Bay, I think. I thought they were smart to park "backwards" in their site - the site is intended to be backed into, but they are taking advantage of the beautiful view out their front window by pulling into it!

These tear-drop trailers are so neat looking. I've never been inside one, so can't say whether they feel bigger than they look...
 
The information on the side identifies it as a T@G.

You can't deny that it is "cute" - from looking at the website, it appears that the doors on each side are so you can get out either side of the bed, that takes up pretty much the entire interior. And, the back opens up to provide an outdoor kitchen. No toilet or bathroom facilities though... (https://tag.nucamprv.com/).

A view of the lake as I was walking around...
Oh look... it looks like there is a classic looking beauty over there...
 
Oh yes, it is a Bluebird!

It's Miss Doozie!!! ;-) We have a prime spot at the end of the row of campsites. There are three new handicapped spots beyond us, but either they are not available for use yet, or not occupied yet. The campground was pretty full over the weekend, but there are a number of available spots available now during the week.
