Just bought a "camper" for ****s and grins.

It's not a traveling hotel suite though. Little, 17 foot
"hybrid" ... the type that the ends fold out forming a queen bed on one
end and a full bed on the other.

Bought it from a friend who is up-sizing. He took meticulous care of it
(reminds me of you) and all it needed was a new battery. Canvas covers
for the ends are like new because he always covered them with a tarp
when in use.

Only weighs 2900 lbs dry, so the GMC Canyon handles it with no problem.
It is rated to tow up to 7,000 lbs.

Plan is for local trips once in a while, just as a diversion and
something to do. Probably spend some weekends or maybe a week or so
down at that campsite in Bourne that overlooks the Cape Cod Canal.

The Scenic Park is a nice place to hang out. There should be a lot
of westbound boat traffic this time of year enroute to winter in
the Souf.

You need to take the camper on a road trip before winter sets in.
We can provide parking and all the comforts of home that the
camper might not provide.

Thought you mentioned a modest sized travel trailer a while back...or does that belong to the wife?

I've been thinking of a hybrid trailer in that size range but they've gotten very expensive up here since our dollar dropped in value. Used to see the new trailers in the $18K range but now closer to $25K

It would be nice to visit but my days of traveling down I-95 towing
*anything* are over. In fact, I don't even want to drive towing
nothing. :-)

Won't fly, won't drive. I guess you'll be looking for a
substantial boat.

Mrs.E. bought a little, egg shaped camper. We used it off and on for
one summer but I did a terrible job in checking it out thoroughly before
she bought it.

Turns out it had a window seal that had been leaking water for quite a
while apparently. The water ran down to the flooring inside the walls
and under the fake, vinyl "wood" floor. Couldn't see it visually but I
discovered that the floor underlayment had been soaking up the water and
had become soft in an increasing area.

Wasn't worth the time or money to replace the floor so we sold it. Gave
the buyer a full disclosure of the issue and he seemed to think it was
no big deal to fix. I disagree, but my conscience is clear. He also
got it at a very good price.

Needless to say, I checked out the one I just bought with a fine toothed
comb. I also know the owner and he's very diligent in maintaining his
toys. This one is in very good shape and was cheap.

Cool! Probably pretty cheap too. A little space heater will probably keep you snug as a bug in a rug
while down at Cape Cod. I'll bet you'll have a great time with it.

No need for a space heater really. It has all the stuff a "big" camper
has ... dual propane tanks, heat, AC, gas stove, microwave... even an
oven that has never been used. Ovens are dumb in little rigs anyway, I
think. What are you going to cook in them, a miniature turkey?

You were thinking of one a couple years back. Here you go!
