    We have looked for 3 years and the other day we finally pulled the trigger on our new life saver

    Its an 1979 Jayco 21’built on a GM chassis, very clean inside and out very low mileage(around 47,000)It is road ready,the last 2 owners took very good care of it.

    The under carriage is very clean

    Since this is not the time of year to use it alot, it will give me plenty off time to repair just few very minor issues it has,like some inside lighting, cab air doesn’t work, needs heater core, all are easy fixes for me tho.

    The FW and kids are very excited about it, just maybe I can fire up the heater and do some winter camping in the driveway this winter.

    The Biggest job now at hand is to find a place for next season close to the river that is KID friendly and safe.

    Oh yeah I forgot AFFORDABLE(weekend rates)

    That’s nice Jeff!

    If you don’t tick of Ms Trumar, you won’t have to test out the heater this winter.

    I agree, we will definitely miss you guys. BUT we are still unsure on where we will be going.

    If there is anyone who can repair a few minor bugs, it would be Trumar

    Congrats on the new toy. Hope you are able to get a ton of use from her

    Looks like a lot of fun. “In a van down by the river”. Love that saying.
