    We’ve talking about it for a while. A decent deal came through this last Friday. That allowed us to get into a relatively low budgeted Camper. It’s a 1988 Komfort - 22ft long camper. In fairly good shape considering the year. A new roof in the last 4 years. It has a few issues, but for the most part should allow us to see if it’s something that we enjoy without breaking the bank.

    Been taking notes on a lot of wisdom from T.Jeff Veal thread :
    Camper newbies ….

    Already getting a list compiled on Must / Needs / Wants.

    Cool deal bud. Better to dip your toe in it affordably than to spend a bunch to find out its not for you.

    Nice purchase, I hope it works out for you & you enjoy it.

    My wife wants to get one.

    I lived in one of those in North Dakota for 6 months with 4-5 other fellas one winter.

    It was about 25yards for a set of railroad tracks.

    I don’t care to ever set foot in one again. Lol.

    It wasn’t a communal shower & I didn’t have to worry if I dropped the soap …
