Hi Sandy and John; we have been running around like crazy the past couple of days picking up the Wilderness and getting her tagged and licensed. We finally were able to get a few pictures taken this afternoon when, of course, the battery needed recharging on the camera! Sooooo, hopefully we will have some more to put up tomorrow. She is twenty feet long and in surprisingly good shape considering the thirty-seven years under her belt. We are so looking forward to doing all the little repairs and making her our own. We purchased it from a dear little family with two small girls who, apparently were sad to see their friend leave as they asked their mother, "Can we see "The Green Booger" one last time please?" In honor of those little sweethearts expression of affection we are keeping the name, G.B. for short! I'm sure I will have a million questions to ask you about restoration so keep your eye peeled for more new messages! Thanks for the response; Jim and Suzan
up along the top of the trailer there is a channel that runs from one side to the other end.there is a small rope sewn in the fabric of the awning. you slide it along the channel. thanks.
Hi, our little tent room is a shower house/restroom which we only use if we camp somewhere where a bathroom or shower house is absent. It is of high quality and works well.
Hello, I have 2 up close photo's of the clip holders on the side of my camper (Didn't require re-enforcing the roof) I purchased them at Tractor Supply Co. Cost $2.00 ea. If you don't mind, please send me your E-mail address and I will send the pictures in an E-mail attachment so you can see exactly what I mean up close. Thank you, Kevin
Hi, For my awning, I installed clips every 18' along the roof on the side so the grommets of my awning can clip right to it. For the sway, it mainly has to do with the type of suspension, mine has what is called tortion springs. Most campers have leaf springs which is the reason for the sway, however, you can obtain a product called anti-sway bar for your towing package and that will correct the problem.
What a great way to spend the summer....camping!!! :o) That's almost like being retired because you get the best days of the year off. What great views you had at your campsites as well. I hope you have great weather and views at all of your locations.

Iam looking for tailights for our 1982 Travelmate motorhome. They have 3 lenses and are surface mount. They were very common in the 70 and 80 not made anymore. Looking to purchase a pair.
