It's finally completado. The camper is back from the winterizering and back on site at the storage unit. Mission accomplished, although $178 later. But hey, easy come, easy go, right? There was only one small hiccup. I took the battery off to put it into the basement and store it for the winter, got it home and laid it where I wanted it... Only to notice that I didn't put the nuts back on the posts. Dammit. They are sitting on the hitch on the camper and now I have to go back to get them. Oh well, what can you do, right? At least the Cubesmart where I keep it is pretty much right down the street.

At least you caught that you didn't put the nuts back even if it's a pain to have to go back. Love your camper!. Looks very comfortable

@porwest I'm happy that you've had a good time with the camper. It looks very comfortable and I would probably consider camping if I could have the convenience of a camper. i always picture camping roughing it with tents, etc.which doesn't appeal to me al all. Being able to dewinterize it yourself is a huge savings.

@Marilynda1225 Yeah, my tent camping days are long gone. A lot of people call this kind of camping "glamping." I don't care what it is called. It's fun and relaxing. lol

I saw it as soon as I set the battery down and I was like, "Doh!" I mean, replacing the nuts wouldn't have been difficult. But why do it if I can avoid it? lol. We really like it and so far we've had a lot of fun with it. I hate that the season had to end, but unfortunately, that's it. Maybe April or May of next year for the next one. At least I can dewinterize it myself and don't have to pay anyone to do it.

Thanks. Much appreciated. We like that it's fairly roomy...for a camper of course.

@Tampa_girl7 You should see some of the fifth wheels. Man, they are literally HOMES. Maybe one of these days. But I'd have to upgrade the truck AND camper. About $120,000 proposition. We're luckily fine with what we have now. lol

You're lucky the storage place is close by. Some friends of mine have to store their trailer 45 minutes from their house. If they forget something, it's a 90-minute round trip.

Oh man, that would suck. I'd keep it at home, but I just don't have room for it.

Is this the inside of your camper? It looks great.

@LadyDuck Oh my. lol. I am not even sure how many square feet it actually is, although I could easily find out. I just know it's about 8 feet wide without the slide outs out and 38' long.

Let me tell you, even a simple project around the house usually requires 90 million trips back and forth to the hardware store. lol

@LindaOHio I was going to take a picture of my nuts and post it, but I am sure everyone already knows what nuts look like.

It's a lot of fun. A lot of work. But good work in a way, I suppose. Once you are there and got the sewer and electric and water all hooked up, then you can relax...before you have to take it all down of course. lol

It's so easy to forget the small stuff sometimes.
