A New Old TC for Hunting
Well, setting up, taking down, and packing up a wall tent camp by myself just got to be little too much for this old phart. The wife suggested I get a camper for hunting. Mentioning this to my hunting partner, he said his dad's friend had one for sale, a '98 Adventurer 810WS by Slumber Queen. It was only a little outside my price range. Used half a dozen times and tarped mostly. Sad story. Like new inside with a shower, no more standing in front of the tin airtight with a pail and a oven, biscuits with the bacon-n-eggs.
I was a little hesitant to add more projects, I have enough in the workshop and on the TT. Any RV coming out of the showroom is going to need work, add in 17 wet winters. At least aluminum and wood is quick and easy. In '74 I had frame mounted camper tie downs custom made , now they are off the shelf. But I still have to install them in the rain. Then there is wiring, both to the truck and in the camper. But the real work is mounting jacks to the canopy/boat loader. Two sets of saw horses.
I will forget all that when I get up to warmth, no wood stove to burn out during the night.(It's got double tanks)
