TC observations and questions, and Labor Day
Looking at our truck camper future: and wonder how long it will be before it can no longer be used.
Labor Day is the traditional end of summer.... how many of you are going to have your campers out this weekend... how many during the fall?
How long has it been since you used your camper at all, on the truck, and traveling or camping?
As we travel around the country we see truck campers up on saw horses or jacks that have been there for years. Are they too damaged to use? or has the owner just given up the RV lifestyle?
Some of the people use them in place to store extra hotdog wieners and beer but haven't had them on their trucks for years.
Campers deteriorate just as fast parked in front of the garage as they do when being used camping....
Our camper has been wonderful but it is taking a lot of tape to keep going. Sooner than later I have to come up with a fix. I am 75 years old I don't want to buy a new one.... The inside of the camper we have is in great shape.... everything works perfectly... it's that dadgone FILON skin that is failing.... it is 13 years old...
... worse still I don't see a need for "saving" a truck camper under the weather safety of our carport just to say we have it.
What will we do with all of the wonderful insides when the skin falls off?
We managed to get out 64 nights this year and are still planning the "next" trip. We have enjoyed 1245 nights totol in our Lance 1161.... we are just not ready to quit yet. But at least we feel like we are close to getting our moneys worth.
Maybe a Linex over spray would hold it together! All suggestions appreciated.... there just might be a spark in even the weirdest suggestion. Like... I'd go for one of Lances new nose cones if I could fit it on the front of our camper.
I hope all of you have a wonderful Labor's Day weekend in your camper doing fun things with family and friends.
