I bought a travel trailer

I have been wanting something like this for years and the opportunity came along and I couldn't resist.

I bought this one.

It needs a good cleaning and a few minor repairs but nothing that will cost over $20. Oh and a new mattress but that goes without saying!

Mine has bunk beds in back instead of the extra queen bed but this is it!

It looks huge! What do you have to do to get a regular title since this one is a salvage title? [ sorry if this is stupid to ask]

Looks really nice. Am I mistaken but are there two bedrooms??? Well, from the look of the virtual tour, that is.

Nirvana - A salvage title is branded and cannot be changed to a regular title. It's a truth-in-selling kind of thing.

Tulip - Yes, there are two bedrooms, one has a queen-sized bed in it and the second has two bunk beds and an extra dinette set. I plan to turn that room into an office with two of my computers and a laptop dock for the wife. I don't see the need for another dining table since it cannot be turned into a bed like the main one can. I guess the extra beds can stay so the dogs can look out the window and take naps on it.

Wow! Are you planning a trip around the states? It looks worth investment. Good one.

Very cool. Would have been way better than the patch of ground I've been living on for the last five days. We had RVs at the camp, but the RV hookups were a good distance away from the basecamp, so I only wandered down that way when I wanted to eat or use the white man's toilet. The injuns were doing some of their peeing in the wild. I can't (literally can't) identify poison ivy, so I try to avoid that.

Bruce, you sound like you've been there before! That's EXACTLY why I really bought it!

Wolf, you will learn easily if you sit in some. You will only do it once!


Here is a pic to help you:

That's easy. It's the stuff that gives you a terrible, itchy rash after you touch it.
