Bought our first new (to us) camper!

[Lisa0620]

shamelessly seeking congrats here. Just bought a 1988 16.5' serro scotty camper. Not old enough to be one of the cool retro ones, not new enough to be sleek, ridiculously small, hideous brown details inside and out and I LOVE IT! We'll be trying it out tonight in the rain in the driveway, but I'll be imagining we're at FW...

Well, then, congrats!

Just for a show of solidarity, I'll go sit in my camper and pretend I'm at FW, too. I'll even put out green ears. Stop by if you pretend to see me!

Congrats, but where are the PICS? You know we all need PICS.

Yay---congrats!! We have an '89 Class C, and I always describe it as "vintage," complete with air quotes Enjoy your driveway camping trip!

 

[Lisa0620]

Love the replies, thanks so much. I will attempt to post my first DIS photos. New camper, first photos, it's a big day here, we may have to play the lottery later.

Here she is in all her "vintage" glory:

We're gonna need a bigger hitch... The truck was a little taller than we realized

Cleaning her up:

Lots o brown:

Lisa, Hey love it, who cares how small as long as you get it to ''The Fort'', right, my hubby and i spend our first night in our camper parked in backyard, also

Congratulations on your new TT!!!!!! I love it! Your kids look so excited washing it. I bet they can't wait to sleep in it tonight....or at least pretend to sleep.

Those Titans sit high, don't they? But once you get it properly set up, the truck won't even know it's back there. I used to pull a 30' TT with a Titan and it handled it great. Only thing is, maybe you need to paint the Titan brown to match?

I love those vintage TT's.

 

[Born 2 Fish]

Awesome !
Ya'l are gonna have such a great time !!

May I suggest, telescopic rod and reels.

What I should have posted was a picture of DH's face when I passed along that suggestion lol.

We're actually thinking of doing the "$50 paint job" with tractor paint... on the camper that is :

I'm sad to say we're actually flying and staying offsite this trip I'm trying to talk DH into FW for the next one, though. I had him talked into a cabin at one point but then he figured out that it has double beds. Someday....

nice tt. i think it is cool.. i bet your kids are extremely excited about all the new adventures they will be going on..

 

[Lyndria]

I am so jealous!! Love it!!!!

 

[storyteller]

Ditto, I've done this once before, except I didn't tell anyone that we were actually leaving that nite, a week early.. that was awsome. We love your camper.

 

[team bradfield]

keep them yardbirds away....they love new coops!

 

[Bessie_Blue]

AWESOME! And you have an unlimited supply of eggs...unless that's dinner. and you won't need GPS for the night...unless your driveway is really long. Enjoy you new TT. Your kiddos will love it!

Nice use of the swimming goggles.
