My brother bought a 37 foot camper with a garage in the back, which got me to thinking. If I win the lottery, I would like to buy a semi and trailer and convert it to be a garage, with fancy camper internals in the trailer but still make it look like a normal semi from the outside, or even better, a Smokey and the Bandit setup to pull my Jeep around to different off-road parks.

Man I just want to buy a camper-- Have a place to keep the camping gear permanently- some place warm in winter/cool in summer and limited set up time. I about have the trailer paid off- then comes go cart part- then auto tranny parts- - then front axle parts- then camper. UGH

I want an Air Stream to use with the old Binder. Perhaps once the girls are out of the house. Our HOA already said that they didn't want campers sitting in the yard, but who knows if we will still be living here at that time, or maybe I will have to store it somewhere else. Chad has room at his house. : )

I'm a fan of pop up camper for a family if you aren't going to be going all the time. They are easier to store and don't take much power to pull. Years ago we pulled one from Hays to Hannibal MO with a Pontiac Grand Am with a 4 banger. Granted that was when the speed limit was still 55 on most roads. We would make up beds in it in the Spring and just leave them unless they needed washed after a trip. We also had all our cookware etc that we just left in it. With a plug in space heater it was warm enough down to about freezing.

I'm with Del on the pop-up idea. They're fairly cheap, light, and super easy to work on. Our current pop-up has huge beds, heater, A\C, and storage box up front for around $2k. They're real easy to sell too when the time comes, people don't hesitate to fork over cash for one that is in good shape.

X2 on the easy to sell and own without much cost. Light weight ones don't even need to be licensed in Kansas. Years ago when the girls were little we bought one for used for $1200, used it for five years and collected hail insurance on it to the tune of about what we paid and sold it for $750 with hail damage. Don't buy new, but look for a well maintained one the is 5 or so years old.
