Red, White, Blue And Oh So Green Patriotic Campers


Summer means patriotic holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor day. It also means camping and the great outdoors.  Some folks have combined the two in a clever way by decorating their campers in patriotic motifs.

Usually it's an upcycled project using an older model.  Raise the flag to these tin can campers, camper vans and busses that proudly display the USA flag and would be a welcome addition to any patriotic parade or campground.

Happy Campers for sure!
