Just bought a "camper" for ****s and grins.

It's not a traveling hotel suite though. Little, 17 foot
"hybrid" ... the type that the ends fold out forming a queen bed on one
end and a full bed on the other.

Bought it from a friend who is up-sizing. He took meticulous care of it
(reminds me of you) and all it needed was a new battery. Canvas covers
for the ends are like new because he always covered them with a tarp
when in use.

Only weighs 2900 lbs dry, so the GMC Canyon handles it with no problem.
It is rated to tow up to 7,000 lbs.

Plan is for local trips once in a while, just as a diversion and
something to do. Probably spend some weekends or maybe a week or so
down at that campsite in Bourne that overlooks the Cape Cod Canal.


Cool! Probably pretty cheap too. A little space heater will probably keep you snug as a bug in a rug
while down at Cape Cod. I'll bet you'll have a great time with it.


No need for a space heater really. It has all the stuff a "big" camper
has ... dual propane tanks, heat, AC, gas stove, microwave... even an
oven that has never been used. Ovens are dumb in little rigs anyway, I
think. What are you going to cook in them, a miniature turkey?

I think they call them chickens.

Use the campground's electricity! Your propane isn't free. Ovens are great for biscuits to go with
your sausage gravy. Although I have baked them on the BBQ.

We've got all the 'stuff' also, but a little office space heater is our heater of choice. Especially
in the bedroom, which is probably close in size to your whole rig.

Our three best buys:

https://smile.amazon.com/White-Solid...ot+plate&psc=1

https://smile.amazon.com/Presto-0685...ric+frying+pan

Cheap, take up very little room, and use the campground's electricity!

I have told ... ummm... "asked" my wife not to fill this little camper
up with all her "stuff" like she has in the past. Paper plates,
plasticwear and paper towels is enough. Electric space heater is a good
idea though.

We aren't planning any serious traveling in it. It's just for
occasional trips down the Cape just to break the monotony.

Good luck with that. :-)

I hope you taped your request to your wife. If it works, and she doesn't fill that thing up, you'll
be able to make a lot of money with that recording. Hell, I'll even pay decent bucks for it!

My new truck camper has the Aldi System. Radiant heat. Works on propane
or electricity.
