    Me and campers lol

    driving around yesterday behind 2 other scrappers, I got nothing -UNTIL I come up on a pop up camper with a ''FREE'' sign on it! Had the wrong size ball of course so had to run home to get the correct one. I mean, who'da thunk I'd need an extra different size ball in my truck because I'd happen upon something like that lol!! It never happened before!

    I think I'll tear it down to the frame and sell the frame separately.

    That big one took me 40 hours, this tiny one shouldn't take even one day going at it balls to the wall with 95 hundred light shining o it after it gets dark.

    Nice score, but I'm still sad. I never find cool free things like a camper!

    I think you are smiling because you know this is going to be a quick one. Congrats on another good find, and the price was right. Mike.

    Thats exactly what I ended up doing!!

    Sledge, he wrote on the back of the sign to take it, I might need it lol!


    I got every thing out before it got dark, all thats left is 3 bottom sides and the floor. Looooooooottta wood. no lights on the back of the garage, I should talk to dad about that lol.

    It has a NICE spare tire for it too, brand new. I should be able to sell the frame out of the front yard no problem.

    Bonfire time!!!

    I have a motion sensor with 2 - 150 watt fluorescent lights on it, that way I don't have to remember to turn lights on and off.
    And the fluorescent lights run cheap and last and last.

    We had a pop up just like that. Sold it to upgrade to a bigger one. The bigger one is now pretty much toast so we will be giving it the teardown soon.
