    Heading out this coming weekend. Only our second outing for the year but most of you know we have had quite a busy year.
    Cleaning the garage out today and decided to go ahead and tryout the new stove i picked up at Expo and it worked much nicer than the Coleman.
    Since I went with bigger tires the side table wouldn't fit anymore so i broke it out and made some adjustments and made it work. Back in buisness with that it is a handy tool and in a handy location.



    We are going to adventure someplace new to us. Pochahotas State park. We have not been in tht part of the state before

    I noticed when I went on the dealer's website the other day tht they ask for info now or wanted you to call for pricing. It didn't use to be like that you could just see the prices posted on the website. I guess they are doing stuff like that now to make contact with more people. like they get you on the phone or have your info and can then work toward getting you physically in to see the campers. I don't really agree with it either but it is what it is I guess

    Building a relationship with a potential customer usually equates to a sale. Even in today's world where most things are bought online people are still people and having that contact usually will get people thinking more about the relationship built.

    While at Expo East I picked up a couple of items for the camper first I fond a great deal on a cutting board. The guys that make the cutting board tail gate skins had brought extra materials they had made into cutting boards $20 and a nice size so I snagged one


    We had to make a snap purchase on our first camping trip when we got the camper because our stove didn't work. he Coleman has worked fine but the controls were way too touchy and it was either almost off or you thought it was going to set your hair on fire. So at Expo I was talking with the reps from camp Chef and ended up with a good deal on an Everest model stove. It is bigger than the Coleman So I will have to do some reconfiguring to get it to fit in the kitchen drawer. Boy are the temp controls better though



    $100 I was happy
