Looking forward to that Blackberry Corner pizza! My stomach just flipped out thinking about it. I haven't been there in a few years, I hope it's still as good.
Be careful out there folks... Remember big brother is watching and on high alert to make it safer for all of us at the expense of your wallet.... Around here they're focusing on seat belts and speed....
Amen too that... Gave up the drinking and driving when the kids were born... Got away with too much in my youth and it would of caught up eventually.... Plus gotta set the example for the youngins... The do as I say not as I do era is long gone...
Lol, seasons just starting! Got 8 trips planned this summer and fall already, landscaping needs just a bit of luv from minimal care the last few years camping all the time. Not complaining weather wise either, but miss a campfire like crazy!
I've had such a great time already this season! Last minute decision was to leave the camper behind this trip. I'm still thinking about going back home after work and grabbing it...not that we need it, but damn it's nice having my own place on wheels.
What do you guys use to wash your campers?
I've tried Dawn, laundry detergent, and car wash soap. Nothing seems to take the streaks away from around the windows. Looks fine from 50', but kinda bugs me still.

I've never entertained the idea of owning a camper. That is changing, perhaps. We have several friends with kids around Masons age that camp regularly, sorta together. We hung out at the campground with them last night, it was enjoyable. It makes me sick to think of having the thing, but I also like the thought.... strange. We don't finance anything so I'll likely purchase used. What are the pitfalls to look for aside from soft floors?

Not just the floors. Look at the ceiling and inside EACH and EVERY cabinet for water spots. Dry is the number one concern for me. Then the obvious external defects. Then I look at appliances and such.
I dilute it 4:1 in a spray bottle. Never hurt the windows. If I have a tough black streak I will hit that spot full strength.

After using the camper several times this year I finally cleaned and de winterized it. Momma had a few days off between school and work so, Levi and I brought her up the lake for the past couple days. We've been staying at east harbor. it's been killing me watching all the guys leaving out chasing eyes, but I'm here for her.
We're heading home tomorrow just to drop her off, then Levi and I are heading down to the smokey'a for a week or so. I'll still have a week to burn before I'm due back to work after that so, from there who knows where I'll be heading. Might just come home and get the boat to head to the river for a few days, I just don't know.
I've definitely been looking forward to this time. Works been crazy and I've spent way to much time there for the last couple of months. Been working 36 to 48 hrs at a time just to go home and sleep just to do it all over again.
If anyone needs some good company in a week or so getting in to trouble let me know[emoji16].
At least I have good company
