That was my thinking, just use the dang thing until it's ready for the junk pile. I have no doubt that I will enjoy camping, if that's what you call it, after all, I plan to park it at a resort type camp ground. I won't be hauling it as a matter of fact, I can't, I have no way to haul it so I will be hiring a tow company to take it to it's location.
But as to the leaking, etc. I would like it to be safe to take the grandkids from time to time.
Oh yeah, I have a little more information. It is a 2001 Springdale Camper, Model 215-FD.
