Mine still hasn't been opened back up. That should be interesting. Probably fall right out onto the ground.You gonna let someone else close up that slide out when you're done this time?!

Back in the saddle again. Hope the Chevy can pull it lol.
I didn't miss the opportunity to sieze the moment after being stimulated by Grandpa Joe and the wife saying she would like to get back in a camper sooner than later. I could see the look in her eyes as we scheduled a trip this summer and the discussion started on which site type, given we would be in a tent.
Hideout 176BH - little single axle with a bed, A/C, shitter and a shower

The misses and I had a couple of campers back in the day. The first was a Hi/Lo circa 1968 that we bought for $500 in about 1989. Pulled it with a Chevy Blazer 305 carb... By the time my wife had unloaded the entire house into the camper for a weekend trip and I hooked it all up to the Blazer, I thought we would never get there. My father's words came back to me when I bought that truck, "This thing doesn't have enough power to pull a sick whore out of bed..." But I was single when I bought it in 86 so what did I know? Did some painting and repair to that Hi/Lo and sold it for a grand in about 92. Our next camper was an 86 Coachman Custom that an old couple basically gave us for $2,500. By then my wife had a bigger house and bigger camper so load in went even more stuff then before!! Forget that. Got a permanent camp sight near Chautauqua Lake and stayed there till the main building burned to the ground and we were expecting our 2nd child, so we sold it for about 5 grand and never looked back. She much prefers camping now at a Hilton Garden Inn, preferably on the beach! I prefer my own bed at home...
Yeah...I work my ass off to keep a nice house way back off the road away from people. On my off time I get to live like a poor person in a trailer park....

Those of us not winterized anymore might want to keep an eye on the forecast. Thursday ain't looking good, gonna need to burn some propane.
Yup, I was planning on finishing that up when I got set up Thursday, I think Ill wait until Saturday.
I didn't winterize and haven't put water back in, so I'm in good shape thankfully. That's assuming the no antifreeze approach worked
Officially parked. We will pull it out for Paint Creek, but I don't see it moving again after I get that last slide out.
