It had a big screen TV on the wall above the fireplace, and plush leather cinema style seats with cup holders and the whole 9 yards! It... was... gorgeous!

Now to the "fixing up the camper"

If you've got new tires, your already ahead IMO. Blowouts suck! Ask me how I know lol.

I haven't messed with the roof on mine much. Its still in good shape. One thing I do do is, once every couple months, walk around and on top of the camper and check your seals around your windows and corners. Im probably not the #1 best camper out there, but I use "Through The Roof". Its a clear roofing caulk. If its good enough to keep ran off a roof, itll work just fine for a camper. And best part is, its fairly cheap and you can buy it almost anywhere. A tube goes a long way. Im sure theres a special caulk specifically for campers but... Through The Roof works lol

One thing that's nearly more important than what shape your campers in is whats in it! If you've never been camping before, your first camping trip is always a doosey lol. Im not sure how we didn't contract some disease on our first one lol. I could type out most things youll need if you guys want. All Im gonna say is:

Toilet Paper
The camper I'm getting IS a front living room. The living room is up over the fifth wheel and the bedroom is in the back. It doesn't have a slide, but the living room being up there makes it a little more roomy than most without a slide.

Not officially, but when I called the campground to register, she knew what weekend it was that I was talking about. It's always been the third weekend in July so as long as they don't change course it will be July 16-18.

Edit: Nevermind, now I guess it's official!

I picture this conversation happening 1 of 2 ways.

Bill calling Clay asking the dates and saying he should post them.

or

Bill being on the phone ordering parts from Clay and he just happens to ask. lol

Hopefully its the latter... in that case WHATDYA GET?!
