out with the remodel, in with the new

Most people buy a new (aka used) camper and keep it for a couple of years, enjoy it, and maybe sell it for an upgrade.  Not this Stewart family.

July - Buy used pop up camper
August - Remodel used pop up camper
September - Buy another used pop up camper and sell original used camper in 3 days

Yes, this is really what happened and yes, I did look at my husband like he was losing his mind!

Here is how the events unfolded.

Ben has never really stopped looking at Craig's List for another camper.  He would always mention how old ours was and eventually having an upgrade, say next summer or so,  would be nice.  I did not disagree but was perfectly content with a very nicely remodeled 1989 pop up camper.

But Ben had found a deal...

1997
Pop Up Camper
Great Condition
$1700

We had just paid $1200 for ours.

"We have to look at it."

Me:  "Your kidding, right."

"No really" *smile* "I think this is a great deal"

Me: "Honey, really?! You sound crazy.  We just bought one"

2 hours later

1997 Camper hitched to the back of the truck for $1500

Me: "We can not tell anyone until we sell the old camper.  I feel like a hoarder but of pop up campers right now."

"Honey, you can't pass up good deals."

Me: "Obviously you can't, I agree."

2 days later.....

1989 Pop Up camper sold for $1450

AWESOME

Me: "We can share the news now!!!"  HAHAHA

I mean this looks great!!!  I love it!!!  The stove, the counter top, the flooring, the cabinets.  Everything is new!

Saying good bye to this awesome remodeled camper!

In with the new.......

More pictures to follow but I am sure you will be surprised to hear that Ben is actually doing more remodeling on this one as well.  Does this kid ever stop you ask...."NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
