Pop up camper

Larry has been wanting a tent trailer for months but I told him we did not have room to store a boat, tent trailer and our 2 cars in front of our house.  Last month the boat sprung an oil leak so he put it up on craig's list and bought a tent trailer.  I was hoping that he would wait to make the purchase after the boat had sold but the tent trailer was a great deal so we now have a boat, a tent trailer, and two cars all in front of our little house.  As much as I hate the fact that we have become a reason people like home owner's associations,  I am excited to use it.  We have two trips planned and one more in the works all in the next few months.  The tent trailer has a stove, sink, refrigerator, couch, table w/ two bench seats, two king size beds, and the couch and table makes into two twin sized beds.  They also sold it equipped with camping gear- so we should be set.   It being a great deal means that we are having to do some cleaning and repairs.  The second picture is during all the cleaning so excuse the mess.  I'll have to add pictures of the after pictures when we are out camping in two weeks. :)

Wow! Looks great! Sorry I do not know if Nathan ever actually got a hold of you. We need to get out in ours and really camp some day soon.

Dale and I have been talking about getting one. He wants to go camping so bad. HE always talks to Clara about it and gets her all excited, but we never seem to do anything about it. Maybe, we can get one and come see you guys!!!

I asked my mom and dad when they bought their tent trailer and they said when they had four kids. So I told Aaron after our last camping trip that we now have four kids and we need a tent trailer too! Hope you have lots of fun. I'm sure it will be much better than sleeping in a tent!!

I am soooo impressed! It's beautiful. I can't wait to see camping pictures. Even more, I can't wait for us to all go camping together in our tent trailers.
