bought a new...well, used trailer

Having sold my hybrid which many of you have seen, I purchased a pop-up.
Cheaper to own (not new enough or expensive enough to have to carry
insurance), cheaper to maintain (no longer need to pay storage) and cheaper
to tow (gas wise.)

It has the two king/queen beds, a smaller fridge (coolers for the beer) and
a furnace. It has on board fresh water...bout 11 or 12 gallons for cooking
and dishes but that's it. No shower or commode. It doesn't have a 'porta
potty' nor will it as I consider those to be something on the order of adult
diapers.... It also has AC if I am at a place that has full hook ups.

I'll need to get a 12v battery, deep cycle and get it wired in...the
previous two owners only stayed at full service campgrounds. I am also going
to purchase a small generator, Honda,/Coleman or the like so if you have a
used one, let me know. I'll need it for more remote areas on the creeks and
streams which will not be named here.

It's a 1998 Rockwood (manufactured by Forest River) and has been used very,
very little. It will take me a week or two to get the maintenance caught up.
I like to be current on bearings, lubing the lift system and other
preventative steps.

The hard shell top will be excellent for transporting my kayaks.

I plan on using this unit till it dies, which should be about the same time
as my body quits. I owned one pop-up for 17 years and sold it for as much as
I paid for it! That'll make me 71 and the men in my family do not live all
that much longer than that....slowly but surely, Frank the Elder is passing
me by!

I'm planning on a spring run at the great lakes, some muskie fishing right
here on an Ohio river, several times to the NC high country and anything
else that happens along.

Hey Opie, if you're still reading, drop me a line, my email bounced.....

....and lastly, significantly because it is not the least, a trip to the
UP......I plan on packing a big lunch...to be cooked over an open
fire.....to last the day and maybe a nice bottle of wine to go with
it.....because I could spend all day every day of a week below a certain
waterfalls.....but I won't. Just two days, I *will* have to explore new
areas.....
