First Camping trip
Well Myself, My Dad, and Mom took our New to us 2005 Starcraft Travelstar 30QBS out for our First Camping trip. We bought the Camper about 2 month's ago from a local actioneer who got stuck with it at a local auction for $2,700. We decided it was cheaper to buy it and use instead of the trip's to pegion forge and paying 400 dollars to rent a cabin. We really enjoyed it and now plan on-going at least 3 day's a month every month work and weather permiting. We had a great view of Noiln Lake here in South Central Ky. The Trailer did great pulled very easy behind my 2006 Mega cab Dodge 2500 Cummin's the trailer weighted in at around 9,000lb's with all our supplies, food, water and etc. The truck avg 26.3 mpg Which is awesome so had more money to enjoy the trip with. We did have a very bad Ant problem no matter how much spary we put down they still got in if any one has any suggestion's that would be great.
Now that we got the Camper back home we are gonna start to work on making it more up to date by adding:
: Rim's and tire's where can i get them at prefer Aluminum one's if possible rim size are 14x5 5.5
: New Awnning (old one was tore off and the Previous owner never fixed the hole in the roof so that was our first repair)
: New sun roof cover in the Bathroom (should anyone know where to get one that would be greatly appricated).
: New Roof Fans the old one's cover's have craked and front blew off on the way home.
: Need all the Self's and other stuff for the Fridge in-side's (previous owner lost them)
: New Lunolium for the whole camper found some nice imtation wood like local for cheap *new* just was the wrong size for him great for us.
: Replace sink and counter the sink is cracked and counter is chipping away at outer edge.
And more stuff to come thank's for reading this long post and should you have any idea's or suggestion's they would be greatly appricated!!
