My mom didn't totally hate it, but she eventually made my dad sell it and upgrade to a bigger trailer with it's own bathroom and shower haha
We took a lot of great family camping trips in that little trailer with some amazing memories made. They then incurred costs to upgrade my mom's car to an SUV with a tow hitch for the trailer.Īll in all, it ended up being a great prize because they kept it for 12 years, which included the first 8 years of my life.
On the video you can see my mom visibly upset they didn't get the washer and dryer hahaha poor mom.Īnyway, they didn't receive their prize until their episode aired and they had to go pick it up themselves down in Los Angeles or pay a hefty price to have the prize delivered (they chose to pick it up themselves). they ended up with the pop-up tent trailer and camping supplies. They had just moved into their first house and really needed a washer and dryer, so they put that first (and assumed that's what they would end up with if they won), and for the 3rd choice they put a new pop-up tent trailer with camping supplies (something my mom definitely did NOT want lol) I guess beforehand, there was a list of items they were given and they were supposed to pick 3 of the prize items and put them in order of their 1st choice down to their 3rd. Not me, but my parents were on the 'Newlywed Game' in the early 80s and won!
