Hi Patricia,
I guess it was with my parent's first trailer, the '97 2653 listed in my sig. I took an interest in the very beginning and it only grew over time and eventually I was doing all the hooking up at the sites, etc. I even was cleaning it, as seen in this pic:
We also toured the factory in July 2000. We sold that unit

in 2001 and then I decided to buy my own in 2003, causing my knowledge to grow even more. That was when I started collecting brochures before 1996/97. As for taking pictures of other's units, I've done it, but I agree, I think they might wonder!
Jon
