    Long term parking/maint. question.

    Hello fellow campers, I'm just right now gathering input about prepping the rv motor for an extended stay in the same spot.( 6 mo. to a yr.) Drain any fluids? I've disconnected the battery already. Thanks in advance. Happy & safe camping, everyone!

    A good news/bad news update; Bn, the storm ripped the awning off the side of my camper. Gn, I've just recently acquired enough canvas for several large paintings. ;)

    binoculars etc, etc...

    Hi fellow camp people!   Quick query; best all around binoculars (under $100) Thanks everyone! Have a great day, wherever you are!

    I think this is the local hawks nest looking out the front window.

    my plan so far

    I think you're in for a huge surprise once you actually get out 'in it' as they say. I completely agree with the small utility trailer idea. Sounds like 'Adventure City' tho, and definitely keep a log of your trials and tribe.

    I had just enough insulation to do the loft, the back wall, and the passenger side wall. Not the prettiest, but it'll keep me cooler this summer (and warmer next winter) and, to me, that's just peachy!

    Now that its warming up I'm not so sure how much I really need a whole nother 3" layer of insulation, but I know next winter... I saw a big hawk on the line yesterday. Next time I'll get a pic!

    Finally back online...

    I can't believe how addicted to the internet I've become. Its a real beast. Lol.

    Healing

    I think its all a process, and your already on your way. If you find your vacation stressing you more than your job, you've probably misplanned.

    Just scored enough 3 in Styrofoam to insulate the whole camper out of the construction dumpster next door...

    Zazz! Hope everybody is staying warm. So, anyway, Ive noticed this spot where I'm at is exactly in the middle of two cell phone towers that are only about 1,500 ft apart. If that. I have to look up at a 45 degree angle to see the tops. I'm not really sure if Im typing this, or just thinking it...

    Thanks my new friends. I think my 'amended' goal is going to have to involve getting a little closer to the gulf coast next Oct. Then, when spring rolls back around, I can head back up this way and keep rolling right through STL and on to Mt Rushmore. That's been one of my biggest bucket list...

    Just a down low update. This is perfect.

    Hopefully, not in a camper at those temps. I'm gonna need a lot more plastic! Woke up to good news this am. Shop owner needs security, at least till the end of spring! This was actually 'best case scenario' in my mind. I guess I was just a little afraid to hope for too much.

    Turns out it is the fuel pump. Semi-costly mistake. I don't know another way to get it fixed right now though. I'll tell ya what, though, even with paying $150 to have it towed over, I'm still only down half as much if I'd been paying rent the last six months, and I'm having a wonderful time. My...

    Pretty good size, yes. Apparently one of the bigger ones according to the conversations I've had, and I actually stayed over 4 mos. Gone now, I'm sitting in front of the mech shop, and its snowing. At least I'm plugged in here and his WiFi signal reaches out to the camper.

    Hey Bryan, hi, if the camper is mechanically up to it, I'd like, eventually, to get back to Colo. Where I grew up and all my ancestors bones are. At least, the recent ones. I don't know why I think mine need to end up in the same pile, but what the heck? I always seem to be jumping into or out...

    Waiting for the TT inside the truckstop. Supposed to be here at 9am. I made the first mistake of thinking if I disconnected the batt, shed start up when the time came. I think its on too much of an incline, or the fuel has water in it, or the fuel pump is gone. Either way, it turns over real...

    This is a pretty busy board. I'm enjoying reading everyone's thoughts. I've had to return as Camper Don, so, we'll go with that! Having to move the mh tomorrow. I guess this truck stop does have a policy. Lol. I've been here since Sept...
