New to us Camper

[Buoy-Master]

<div>
</div><div>Drove down to Chattsworth the other day and let the Father in Law play negotiator with the seller on a 1995 Layton 1850 Camper. The price got right and we pulled away with it.</div><div></div><div>Parked it by the garage and went to checking it out good. Fridge seems to work on electric and gas, furnace works great, air works great...water heater is having some issues but I have a brand new system sitting in the garage thanks to a good friend! Its gas/electric also. Stove top works but oven isn't lighting. The pilot will but the burner itself wont. Could be a clogged orifice. I'm not too worried about that right now. I have a stove top oven if biscuits need to be made. </div>

No water leaks at all. Toilet and shower work just fine. (Diane took a shower in it last night) Ha! Theres plenty of storage in this unit too!</p>

Outside is in pretty good shape...I managed to work most the black streaks out yesterday. Some caulking needs to be re done but nothing leaks. May need a new air unit cover. One side is busted...then again I could wire and fiberglass that. Cant see it where I stand. LOL.</p>

Didn't come with an awning but my dad had a 10x0 just sitting in a building. We rolled it out and it looks brand new. Slide it on and set it up...perfect. Now were just about ready!</p>

I guess Diane's Mom is gonna give us all sorts of pots and pans..this and thats to have it ready to pull out and camp somewhere so we're pretty excited to get this thing loaded up. I've been itching to get one just to get us out and away from here without paying for hotels and crap. We used to camp alot with tents and a popup but I guess now that were a bit older, having all the comforts of home make this camper perfect. Not to mention....we broke it in last night. </p>

Now you said a fix-er-upper for a couple hundred bucks. emoScratch There is no way you only paid a couple hundred bucks for that nice of a camper. Looks really good and clean, NICE! Is Diane going to let you take it to the deer camp? emoTongue Jmax

 

[Dmountainmanb]

Looks great, congrats

 

[Buoy-Master]

LMAO. Not sure about that whole deer camp thing Jim. We'll see. I know with the right hook ups, she would go!

Yea...I looked at frames and boxes to possibly refurb or fix us up one but the time involved and things to buy were going to kill me. Her dad cant be beat. he pretty much said "Son, we're gonna get you and diane a decent camper and be done with it" "No Junk!" Ha. He's pretty much acting as the bank for us...Paid for it and told us to pay what we can when we can. Ya just cant beat that, right!?

Its gonna be nice to hook up, drive somewhere and hang out for the weekends. maybe more if we can pull that off. The Shar Pias will be questionable when we go but I know my boxer LOVES the camper. She behaved well in it last night and has her own spot picked out.

Really nice! emoToast emoToast

Diane go!!!!??? That would be sweet. There are a couple times every now and then at my camp a couple wives will show up. One of them actually hunts as well as the guys. The other just shows up for the outing. I like it cause they will usually cook for us. Nothing like hunting all morning and coming in to a big noon breakfast of everything you can think of. Jmax

Hope you guys have a great time enjoying this fine camper.

That's nice, Billy! What a father-in-law! emoToast

Now you need one of those stickers that says" If this RV's rockin'-I sure as hell ain't in it!"

 

[Buoy-Master]

Lmao Ron!! I told her while she was asleep I'd play some porn noises on the radio and rock the camper.

 

[Buoy-Master]

Here's the awning

 

[Jmax]

That is very nice Billy, you two looked fixed up to me. emoThumbsup

I am not all that sure about those radio porn noises? I would bet there were more then just noises going on and if she was asleep you should be ashame. emoRolleyes Jmax

 

[river rat]

That looks great Billy But before you start the porn noises and camper rocking you better hide that hatchet lying in the dinette from Diane. I hope you enjoy it for a very long time emoLaugh emoLaugh

hell Billy don't listen to Ron he has to eat little blue pills just to keep from peeing on his feet in the mornings he so dang old

 

[foodsaver]

looks good. I have seen one before with a tow hitch on it so the guy could haul the boat and the camper. I guess you just don't get in a situation where you need to back up very far.
