Camper Question

[Trevor Shipman]

We most recently put our camper at Lake Shelbyville, but it is the parking lot type camping area that you talk about. But what we are trying to achieve is a place to lay our heads down and pre trip for a day at the lake, and this provides that for us.

Now that's a good looking setup!!

That's a great looking camper @Trevor Shipman ! Our first camper was a Jayco Jayfeather 23B which was a great camper that we easily towed with a 1\2 ton pickup. It just takes a little time to setup and take down in comparison to our current 5th wheel camper. If you happen to camp in a not so shady spot and you find that your a\c is not keeping your ends cool here's a tip. Get some solar blankets and clothes pins for on the roof of the soft ends. It'll help a good bit. There's a company that makes accessories for popup campers that's owned by an old aquantence of ours that we were in a camp club with. If he's still in business he will certainly be able to hook you up with some cool gadgets for your new rig.

Thanks @PEARCE yeah I think I've seen some of those blankets on a few YouTubes. I also have seen where people have put reflexitics in the windows between the screen and canvas. I might explore both options to keep her cool in the summer.

And thanks for the tips on your friends, do they have a website I can check out?

I'll check around and see. It's been awhile since I've talked to him.

I prefer the permanent site. Right up the road from you in Salisbury, @Trevor Shipman . We spend virtually every weekend here.

That place is pricy too! If you have a big trailer you need two a\c's if you plan to be in your camper in the heat of the day because there is very little shade.

I think Camp Gulf is where my family would camp in Florida 35 years ago. I'm shocked it's still operating. Back then Destin was just a speck on the map compared to these days.

I really can't wait to get the boat out - hopefully that'll save me from watching videos like the one on the effects of ice in a black water tank - when I don't own an RV!
