And so it starts! (With some questions)
We picked up our 1995 Palomino Bronco 1200 this afternoon in a downpour. Hope that's not an omen for future travels....LOL! Amazingly, stunningly - this poor trusty camper shows no signs of leaking ...

And today's project was to clean the inside of the camper. Come to find out - all the "weeds" I found EVERYWHERE are dried-up lavender. And Bay leaves. Plus lots of cinnamon. My shop vac exhaust has never smelled so good....LOL!!
The previous owner mentioned that she thought the freshwater tank *might* have a leak; and I could see where attempts were made to seal it in several places, so I just yanked it out. I'll just run the water tube into a 2.5 gallon jug since I've got the manual-pump system anyway. And by taking out the 16 gallon tank, I now have gobs of room for my electric heater, fan, and other small appliances. The fridge didn't even try to work on 110 volts - hardly a surprise there. The LP-tankless compartment makes nice storage for all the outside stuff, tiedowns, bucket, hose, etc. There appears to be a tiny bit of soft chipboard in the passenger-side front corner (nothing I intend to worry about); everything else looks solid.
So far, I'm a happy camper :-) (Sorry - couldn't resist the pun)
