Hey I pulled this out of the 7.3 section but I noticed that these are right here in good ol MN...St.Cloud to be exact. Really good price and if I had the change laying around I would be seriously considering one of these.

Hey Dave! It is going good tonight! Just hanging out tonight. Earlier I pulled a ladies brand new van out of a ditch because she was reaching for something. Scary part is the ditch was really steep and I am surprised it didn't roll and all this happend with a 9 month old baby in the backseat.

Good evening guys. How's it going?

Hey Mike that looks like a real good camper. I would say go for it of you are happy with the deal. Campers seem to hold there value pretty good so you should be ok.

Dave sorry to hear about the break in. That really sucks but at least they didn't take anything. Glad you had fun camping.
Thanks for the advise Troy.

LOL, I'd hope you could make it to your own GTG.

Mike, I would go for it on that camper. A camper that age does not loose value as long as it is kept in nice condition.

Thanks for the advise Lee.

Wow, that is suprising news.

Hey Dave. Yep, it is one of my "get caught up quote' posts.

Not too bad, it was hot and humid but the wind helped A LOT.

I made the decision to buy the camper I posted about. I called the seller tonight and we are going to pick it up Thursday night.
