I mounted a weather proof box on the back of my house so I could plug in and use the camper whenever I want and also keep the battery conditioned. Sometimes we all go out there and spend the night for fun....

Sometimes I go there cuz it's more comfy than sleeping on the couch

Very nice Andrew, enjoy!

That's not a bad idea but won't do much good for me as the rv won't be stored at my house.

I put a 50 amp rv box on my garage, now when the in-laws arrive they can plug in and enjoy.

It still is nice to have for the pre and post trip loading and unloading. Campers can get mighty warm in the summer sun-nice to knock the edge off with the a/c. That will generally trip the the breaker on a 15 amp outlet.

Pics as promised.

Here's a couple of the interior. I couldn't get any pics of the bedroom/bathroom area that were any good.

Looks nice Andrew, You should enjoy that baby.

How's your boy doing? Is he over the fact that the camper attacked him?

I think he has forgiven the camper. He's not super excited but is willing to give it another go.

Off topic a bit but, what kind/brand toilet paper is everyone using? The dealer said RV paper only, some people say it doesn't matter what you use, etc

Any input?

You need the RV/marine toilet paper. Use the house hold stuff and it may stick to level sensors in tank. Also won't dump well at the end of the trip. Does your unit have a black tank flush?
