My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written. ** Image ID #1701066 Unavailable ** |
| As many of you know, I purchased and have been working on a HiLo camper. It still needs a lot of work, but it's on hold for the winter because it's just too cold to work. However, a woman my wife works with has decided to sell her camper. Her husband and her had plans to fix it up (it needs minor work) but he passed away last fall and now she wants to sell it. I have only looked at it in passing, so I don't know how much work it needs, but it's in far better shape than the HiLo was. It's a pull behind (not fifth-wheel) about twenty or twenty five feet long. It looks good from the outside, and it's similar to what my wife and I had previously looked to buy. I don't know the price she wants, she wants us to look it over and make an offer. So, do I make an offer and purchase it? I have a lot to do with the HiLo yet, but I could put that up for sale and focus on the pull-behind. I'm leaning towards the pull-behind because it's a bit roomier, needs less work, and I can tow it without needing a fifth-wheel. Money is tight after the legal problems we had to deal with and all the costs we had to cover in that situation, but I can manage to come up with some. The plan right now is to wait for a warmer day and go look it over, consider what price to offer, and if we can get it cheap enough, purchase it so we have it for camping this spring (from what she has talked about, it's very usable, but needs minor work inside). The HiLo needs quite a lot of work before it's ready to use, and even then it's uncertain if it will develop leaks again as it flexes and bounces in transit. I've also thought about winter camping, later in the season after the extreme cold has passed. The HiLo would not be a good option for that, as it uses hydraulics to run the cable system to raise and lower the top. But, a tow-behind would work great for camping any season. It's something I'll have to put some thought into, look at the camper, and see how things work out. |
