It was a 1980. Took a bit to get it road worthy since it had been sitting for awhile.

Speaking of the doofuses @ uhaul, we have a new 2013 Explorer Sport with a 5k tow rating and a 365hp twin turbo that uhaul will still not allow to rent a trailer !!!!

Idjuts are almost like the gooberment in they make a rule and to hell with the logic !

So I drive up to help the wife rent it for the kids in our 350 and they say you can tow it with that No thanks - I'm not renting it for us !

I think the step hanging down adds a little class to the rig

Is that a short people joke ?!?

I was just looking at the branches on the roof and thinking how much clean up that would take - you are a more industrious man than me

and my wife would never THINK of it !

I bet it has a metal roof that makes cleanup so much easier.

Yeah that step was a winner. I tried to take it off at first. We just tied it up in the end.

It did have a metal roof. there were no leaks inside! Just dirty is all. Gloves were mandatory for me

you cant beat an old camper trailer though, they seem to last longer than the newer ones.
