Vintage RVs for the rest of us...
My new{ish} camper
Picked up a camper, hope it is "old" enough! 1989 Skamper by Dutchman, model 1850T. Had a price I couldnt refuse, but the round trip from SC to OH did add some expense. Slapped a set of new tires on it, checked the bearings and added grease, and off I went! Slow trip, trailer wanted to sway at 60mph, so I stuck to 58-59. That can be tough on I-77!
Got it home, made a few rot repairs. AC and heat strip work, hadnt checked the propane furnace yet. Water pump spins up, but I havent filled the tank to test the plumbing.
Plan on using a weight dist hitch on the maiden trip on the 26th/27th, hope that will cure the sway. The camper should do fine for my mostly solo trips, but still able to handle my wife and daughter when needed.
Is it old enough???
