Camper

[Janet]

Thanks Sandy. Now we are worried about even going to look at the camper. The site Gayle suggested was very informative and now we don't know if hubby's truck will be able to pull it. We'll just have to wait and see.

The camper in the ad certainly sounds like it's been well taken care of and the price seems like a really good price. You should go and take a look at it and talk to the owners about pulling it and what you would need.

Motor homes are wonderful but one thing about a motor home is that they get terrible gas mileage, like, just a few miles to a gallon. A couple of my aunts have motor homes but are finding that it's cheaper to just leave them at home and rent a motel room. Of course if you're not going too far that won't make a lot of difference.

We're needing a new camper too. We have a pop-up that we just love but it's really starting to show a lot of wear. They make a pop-up now that has a slide out so they're a little bigger inside. One thing about them is that they're easy to pull around and you don't need to have something heavy duty to do it either.

Janet, you don't need something to sleep in when you get here because I have a really nice guest room just waiting for you!!!!

I know, but it sure would be nice to be able to stop and see some sites on the way there and back...LOL. We are just waiting for them to call us back so we can go look at it and see what it takes to pull it. There is another one down around Indianapolis, but I feel bad to call them on a holiday. It's not quite as big, but it showed interior pictures http://www.mountcomfortrv.com/rvcoac...2&mid=21&cid=5 and it doesn't look bad at all for 1988. Problem is, with the older ones, they are heavier. So first things first, hopefully the ones close by will call soon. If not tomorrow morning then I'll probably call them again mid afternoon.

That looks like a really nice one too. Good luck!!!

Good luck Janet!

Greg invited me to go with him in the semi this week. If I didn't have so many dogs to tend to I might have taken him up on it. He's heading out tomorrow for Mississippi... so It's a part of the country I've not been to yet. But with Gustav coming through I'm not sure the time would be good anyway. lol

I too would love a camper, but dh says he lives in one 5-6 days a week which is great plenty. lol

I use to love camping so much. I still do somewhat. I like early spring and camping in the fall. During the summer it is just too hot for me and I can't stand all the bugs like I use to. I don't know when I got them, but I've got mosquito bites like crazy and I haven't been out that much. I can't imagine what they would be like if I was out camping. They don't seem to be so bad in the fall for some reason. Plus the colors are just so beautiful. I hope it works out, but I've become use to things not working out as I have hoped.

Well, the camper is sold, but we will just keep looking at a leisurely pace and see if one shows up for us. Maybe it wasn't a good idea, I don't know.

I think maybe I'm going through a mid-life crises or something. I just feel I need to do so many things, see so many things, accomplish many things. I must be losing it...LOL..just pray I find it....LOLOLOL
