I started out with a pop-up camper that had a solid bottom and roof, but when opened up, had canvas sides and ends that slid out with beds for sleeping which left most of the 25 foot box open for daily living. Had lots of storage and we made good use of it. When I moved a couple of times, it was our temporary home until we could get settled. Then one day, when I lived near Justin, TX (north of Fort Worth), a tornado flipped it end over end and it just came apart.
After that, we got a bumper pull travel trailer which both my wife and I really liked. Then I traded it in for a class-C. All three of those RVs got lots of use and we liked every one of them. Now I have a diesel pusher which is shown in my header picture. So, over all that time and different RVs, I have been to camping world and at one time, was a member of the Good Sam Club. So what now? Maybe I should sell this last RV and settle down to old age and my rocking chair. Now, where would be the best place to advertise it? Maybe instead of trying to sell it myself, I could take it down to PPL Motor Homes, where I bought it in the first place. Now, you all have a great day, you hear?
BTW, that picture of 50 years of fun came out of my Jan. 2016 issue of Motorhome (the magazine).

I went through three months of misery trying to sell my motorhome then took it to PPL and it was sold three weeks later.
ReplyDeleteThey sold my class-C but had to really lower the selling price. First thing I have to do is figure out why it will not start. Dash board is dead along with the ignition. Just had new engine batteries put in, so they should be OK.
DeleteYou didn't say... but I hope you weren't in that camper when the tornado hit!
ReplyDeleteNo I wasn't. Thank goodness.
DeleteI've sold a 5thwheel and a truck camper (cab-over) and am glad I'll never have to do that again.
ReplyDeleteI never had a slide in truck camper but did have a cap on a pickup that I slept in a few times.
DeleteWow . . . 50 years. I had no idea. Sometimes I just hate to stop and do the math. :)
ReplyDeleteSurely a young guy like you don't remember that far back. . .
DeleteI sure am sad you are selling your motorhome...it is so beautiful and you have hardly used it.
ReplyDeleteMake a nice vehicle for you to travel back and forth from out there to Houston???
DeleteI have never had the pleasure to go RVing. Some one I know lived and travels in their RV for ten years. Hit all lower 48 states. After they settled down they sold it. Must have been quite an adventure for you. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun to live in mine. I even have a washer and dryer in it.
Deleteo DD, take at least one trip before you sell it. Come this way, gonna be so beautiful in the spring, wild flowers everywhere, lakes full, soo... CMON.
ReplyDeleteMy header picture was taken at Ink's Lake State Park. Isn't that near you? Bill Bob was there and you visited him, I was there and you didn't. (grin)
DeleteI can't imagine towing that trailer with a VW bug, sure wouldn't want to go up or down a hill with the Winnebago filling up the rear view mirror. Advertise your motorhome up North as a winter escape vehicle, when cold weather hits them, they'll be calling you ready to deal.
ReplyDeleteI figured you would take it off my hands (grin).
