Ready for camp now

Picked me up a camper today just in time for camp. Went in to RV dealer here in Clinton in hopes of finding one with out driving all over today to find ones I found on craigslist. Ended up getting a real good deal and even worked out a deal for sponsership from them before I left. Ended up getting $1400 off asking price and lots of accesseries kicked in to. Great guys to deal with if anyone is around Truman and has trouble and needs something repaired give Wilder RV a call. He was telling me about all the guys during nationals last October that were in getting things repaired while they were here. He said Wally was in 3 times. Twice for repairs and then a third time just to come back and show them his truck and boat and meet everyone there. It is not a new class A by a long shot but will beat a rain soaked tent.

Cool
No more tent for u!!!!

Nice! I've been looking around a little bit for a popup myself....... found a few over the winter but didn't jump on any of them. The AC on top is a must for us..... camping can be plum miserable in the summer without it. Glad you found what you wanted, and got a good price to boot. Enjoy!

This one has heat and air so can get more use out of it than my last one that did not have air. Nice for summer fishing when coming back for lunch and midday nap.

Looks nice man. That'll come in handy for sure.

Sweet deal, I'm still sorry I sold the one I had.

Ya I had a real nice one for a couple years and regret ever selling it. Wife got a new car so I decided I would go buy me a toy to make up for it. Should last us a long time. Can't wait for camp to try it out.

Looks good...you get the beat of both with those, comfort and easy to pull and maneuver

Jared, three words for you - AIR - CONDITIONING - NAP! Looks good! This old bird won't do nothing without air conditioning anymore! I firgure you also got a gas hot water heater too? I converted our RV over to an electric hot water heater. Man does it save on propane.

Ya. I never even used the sink in my last one and I had it three years. The heat and air will be nice though. Summer time camping it is nice to fish early then come in for something to eat and a nap then go back out in the afternon/evening. I sent Paula a PM about campsite check. Thought it was mailed earlier this week but found it this morning. Will get it in the mail on Monday.

Oh yeah that heat and air is nice. But as high as this propane is getting all I am using is a small electric heater. And this is the first trip out since I converted the hot water heater to either electric or gas. I have not used any gas at all!

I don't think she or I are worried about some darned check from you. I just sent her back home about 30 minutes ago. I called her on Thursday morning and told her that I needed her up here and she came up Thursday night. Between setting up this store and all the other things I have on my plate up here I have needed the extra help. This is the second weekend in a roll that she has made a 680 mile round trip to help me. This store was a total mess and almost empty when I opened it up.

I guess the front yard had grown so much that a neighbor mowed our yard the other day for her. She said she came home and the front yard was mowed!Between taking care of her dad, doing stuff for me in Springfield, Buffalo, Lineville and dealing with my parents she hasn't had any extra time to work around the house. Plus the fact that she had been working on our taxes! YUCK! And I guess our son has been putting in alot of extra overtime at the Nixa Police department he hasn't even had time to mow our yard either.

I have almost finally gotten this store setup I have a few more items to put prices on and then I have to remop the floors and it will finally be done!

Hales dumped a 53' trailer load of stock on me a week ago Tuesday night. It took me until about 1 pm last Thursday to get it unloaded. Then I got another 53' trailer load last Thursday night about 8:30 pm that had to be unloaded and turned right around. Got it done about 12:30 am last Friday morning.

I can't complain I have a store full of first rate product! I have stuff stacked to ceilings! And I am starting to get alot of customers coming in.

Sounds like you will have the stores in top notch shape in plenty of time. I put my electric heater in when I had it up earlier. Will try not to use the propane if I don't have to. They stove that can be used inside or out is also gas. Used mine a few times on my old camper instead of starting a fire in the summer time. They did fill the tank up for me when I picked it up though. Can't wait for camp to try it out.

We almost ended up with one of those but I wanted a shower! Your camper sure looks nice. LOL a lot better than PW's tents! Does it hand crank up or electric crank up? I will tell you it looks like the costs of used RV's is really coming down. I know a guy who got a 25 foot trailer for $2500 and it was really nice.

Our next one is going to have a washer, dryer in it! And it's going to be one of those all season units that has built in tank heaters. Plus its going to be a gooseneck also.

If you were like me and in the dog house most of the time at home you would be sleeping in it in the driveway already!

the most important part of the story, NAP in the afternoon, a must.

jared how you gonna pull a boat and a trailer and an ice trailer all the way to camp?

That is what is nice about only living 15 minutes away from Bucksaw. Actually I have a good friend from work that lives at the turn off to Bucksaw just after you turn off of U hwy. So only a mile or so to the camp ground. When I had my camper before I left it at his house a lot to save pulling it down everytime. Went to the dreaded Wal-Mart last night and bought supplies for the camper. Soap, shampo, paper towels, plates and cups. Even got a fancy dancy hot dog or marshmello roasting stick for the kids. Last but not least a couple half gallons of dark Canadian flavored drinks. Guys from work are camping over the weekend so I may go down and camp with them and just stay for the whole 10 days. Will see what the weather brings.

Thats not fair you being so close!
