giving it up
So, After 40+ years of camping, it is finally time to give it up. Apparently my body has already given it up, as it simply hurts too much to set up, hook up, and maintain the TT. So it was sold this week, and for the first time I can remember, we are with out a camper. Yes it is really sad. But the right thing to do.
FYI Now is the time to sell. I put our's on the main highway with a sign, and it sold in less that 24 hours. At one time there was 3 people looking at it. I thought they were all together, but no. They just all showed up at the same time.
Also. Don't believe that myth about your RV losing all it's value. We used our's for 9 full years, and when we sold it. We got it all back except $4,350.00. So in other words. We used a 30' BUNK HOUSE WITH A SLIDE for 9 years for $4,350.00.. It is possible that I could have gotten more, but I sold it for what i thought was fair.
So now a young couple, and their children can make new memories in a really good TT. As for us. Many of the CGs we stayed in have cabins. And we already have reservations in one. we will be fine. Sill in all. We will miss the TT. It meant freedom for us. We could never have afforded to go the places we went if we had, had to get motels, or condos. Think about it. when we started a campsite in a National Park was only $3.00.. we could spend a weekend in the mountains for less than $20.00 and that included all expenses, gas site, and food. And we could spend a week at the beach for $125.00. Plus gas and food.
So yes it is sad. But life goes on.
