I knew there wasn't anything under those damn showers!!!! Never guessed it would be that little lol.

Our prowler had like a "floating" floor it seemed. Sometimes the wood would be there to support 80% of the floor, other times 20% and I couldn't stand on it without bending the tub. I never cared enough to open the panel lol. Keep going John!

My wife and are a talking about a camper for next year. Trying to wrap my head around it and what I can get for my $. We both enjoy being outside and look forward to being a camping family.

We're going to be down in hocking hills for the 4th again and to salt fork in fall most likely. Bring Tracie by for a few cold ones and let her hang out.

All that's under there is a box built out of 2x2 and that little piece of 1/2" osb. mine was screwed down not well but it was. I could see how they would forget to screw it down, all the rest of the shit is half assed.

Bachelor party time! Good opportunity to move the camper and provide a nice, warm, comfy spot to crash instead of someone elses house. Mobile hotel..

Great weekend to dewinterize and start prepping for the season!

After 2 years of heavy use, our awning was in dire need of a cleaning. After doing some reading and feeling out other campers, I decided to use the bleach and dish soap method. I completed the following 2x's and she looks brand new. Make sure you wear old clothes.

1 cup bleach
1/2 cup dawn dish soap
1 gal water

Put in a sprayer and soak both sides of the awning. Roll up for 30 mins. Unroll and brush trouble areas. Rinse good. Repeat as needed.

Good stuff Adam. Will definitely keep this in mind. Got ours out for a test spin this weekend.

Really happy with the way it pulled.

Wife and I just walked through an open house at Town & Country Camper sales in Clyde... Man, they have some crazy nice features on today's campers. I was blown away.

Thought about swinging over to check out some deals but didnt feel like dealing with all the ppl. How busy was it when u guys went?

Ill be the first to admit, its no longer camping. More like a mobile cabin. My BIL had one of the rear living 5th wheels a couple units ago and it had the fireplace. His current one has 5 slides, unreal!

Actually not too crowded at all. We were there around 4 o'clock I think. Got some free hotdogs and pop too. Those fifth wheel campers were unreal... Nicer than my house!

Some of those campers are way nicer than most people's homes, that's for sure. When I first started looking I thought I was in way over my head. It can be overwhelming!

Last weekend we did Paint Creek. The next two weekends looks like Deer Creek. The next two weekends after that looks like we will be back at Paint Creek. This summer is going to be EPIC! Because the month of July we will be in Alaska camping on the Mighty Kenai... I need to get over these last couple of bad days, life isn't that bad. Lol
