I wasn't sure where to post this.
Just wondering if anyone had a camper or rv? Steve has wanted to go camping for ages. I will not sleep in a tent.....My idea of roughing it is the motel 6.
So,he says If we bought a camper,would I stay in that.So I said sure.We've been looking for over a week and have found one HE likes. I like it ok...It's already set up,so we won't be moving it.It's on the water and has a large deck built on. The only thing is,where it sits....It MAY flood. It flooded last year(first time in like 9 yrs) there and the camper had to be pulled out,then put back after the water went down. Alabama Power has said they have fixed the problem (Alabama and Georgia have built a dam to take the extra water so this campground and others around here wouldn't flood anymore) But...you never know about Mother nature...
I'm afraid we'll buy this and not use it much. it'll be great for the kids to spend weekends there and such.And of course for the entire family to be together. There is no phone (I'll take my cell in case of emergencies) and no cable tv.Ashley will be so upset lol
I'm so undecided. I guess I'm to frugal to spend the money.I can think of 100 things to do with that money other than buying a camper. Plus,I'm worried about the flooding. I mean,we'll go and pull the camper out,but still...what if it's 3 am and noone is expecting it to flood....
btw..the camper is $6800 (1991 model) Steve said the decking is worth at least $1,000 or more.
There's another camper thats bigger,newer(1999),and nicer but it's $13,500 (we may can talk him down some) We could pick our own lot.One is right next to the other camper (would still have to be moved if flooded) and one is up higher but with no decking.
Steve wants to be right on the water. I don't want the camper to flood or have to worry about it flooding.
