Back in the early 80's I made a deal with a coworker to borrow his cabover camper, figured it would be easy peasy to get it in my (new to me) Dodge Dually.
First warning of what to come- I cracked one fender when I was backing into the yard to pick up the camper- I had to back thru a ditch, and ran over the mud flaps the PO had installed. Camper install was OK...except it didn't have the necessary wide camper jacks. Got two scratched fenders. Spent three HOT as all get out nights in that non A/C camper. First hot night at a car show in Sacramento. Second was a campground in Reno where the DW went to use the restroom, except she found it had 5-6 drunk teens in there carrying on..Next night was Lake Tahoe, (still hotter than normal humans like) got a campsite, drove into town for fuel and food. As I fueled the truck I was staring wistfully at a motel across the street (AC, showers-nirvana) apparently the DW picked up on what I was thinking..Got a room, headed home the next day. Couldn't get the DW into another RV for 15 years..
