    Reluctantly I must let my camper go after 15 years. My wife and I sold our house and will be / are touring the country for the next few years. The RV is a Winnebago Journey and the tow car is a Lincoln MKX.



    Now back to the camper. The camper is currently stored in Mechanicsburg, PA in a storage locker. It has been kept under cover for the last 12 years and is in good condition. No leaks and is insulated. Weighs in at about 800lbs so air bags are a must. The pieces to the structure are disassembled and are stored with the camper. This is a very solid camper. I have a tendency to overbuild...

    Honestly, I don't need the money. I'm really looking for a good home for the camper. Preferably when not in use to be stored under cover. The structure provided can be easily modified to add a roof. If you have kids they love it! I had 3 little ones (very little) in the upper bunk. We did a lot of camping and Scouting. I've spent plenty dry and warm nights in this camper when it is pouring or snowing. Was also my trailhead camper. Arrive at the trailhead on Friday night and sleep in the camper. After that any number of nights backpacking in the woods.

    We'll be in the area for the month of June. It is currently resting on a structure with wheels. This can be moved into a motorcycle u-haul trailer. Albeit with a little muscle. You will need to come and get the camper and the structure. I have no way of delivering this since my son has my truck in Colorado. I do miss my Tacoma but couldn't have gone to a better person to take care of it!

    Message me if you're interested and we'll work out the details.

    Too bad you think downgrading to that big-ass Winny is something you have to do. Any wife worth keeping would share the camper and leave your money in the investments.

    (Kidding, just sick humor... But my wife would share the camper and refuse the Winny...)

    That is so neat! What a cozy creation. My kids would go bananas for something like this. I'm sure you will find the right home for it. :thumbsup:

    It’s a 4x4 tiny house.

    Can I get a burger from a drive-thru window while in bed? That’s important.

    Very cool build! I’m afraid to show my kids!
    Great gesture and fun way to pass it on, this should be a good community to find a future owner! I hope to pass it on the road someday.

    Looks like I've found a good home for the camper.

    I've loved being on this forum! So many good people and good ideas.

    Maybe in the future there will be another Tacoma but for now the country awaits.

    It’ll be a sight lol
    I wish I would’ve snapped a few when we had it set up at the campsite with an awning and kitchen set up behind it
