My Summer Project
Earlier this year our hunting group decided to head to Colorado for an Elk hunt. I had the truck, another guy had the trailer so we should be all set.
Well...lets just say the better half of the guy with the trailer wasn't as excited about her camper going cross-country on a hunting trip as we were. :B
Being a MH owner I 100% COMPLETELY understood. Their camper is their baby. They work hard for nice things and work hard to keep them nice. While we would treat it with respect there was always the chance something might happen.
What a perfect opportunity for a project. :B
I hit Craigslist looking for a "Handyman Special". One local dealer had a few listed so I decide to take a look. The one I went looking at was sold when I got there, but for some reason the worst one kept calling my name. The floorplan was perfect. The size was right. The appliances all worked. Sure it was in bad shape, but how bad could it be, right? Besides, the floorplan was perfect!
They knew it was rough and I knew it was rough. They were reasonable and so was I. We agreed on a price and I dragged it home.
I know, I know...if I figured my labor at all I'm in the red. But this was a project, and I like projects! I have about 400 hours in it, 395 of them were a blast. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into.
And here it is...
Camper Rehab - start to finish.
