Fellow Sunline Campers.
I’m having a hard time with something looking for some thoughts. My work has settled down at least for the moment to where I’m back in town now from being gone the last year. And now I need to stop procrastinating
and do something with our smaller camper.
Last weekend I took it out to get the Dometic Fridge recall done. Boy she sure tows well with the F350…
The fridge trip went smooth. Here she is going for a ride.
Then we started cleaning what little dirt/dust was on the unit inside and out and getting her ready to find a new home. This is where the Camper Separation Anxiety sets in.
Five years ago we had a beautiful PU. It was immaculate when we traded it for the new T2499 and as usual the dealer does not give you much for a trade but we did not want to swing a full TT cost then so we traded. The dealer never even looked at it and gave us a price out of a book. Didn’t matter how good or not it was. :? I him'ed and haw'ed then, man should I just keep it? Maybe the kids can use it some day?? Convinced myself/ourselves it needs to go, so it did.
Then this spring my son now 25, buys a 1997 Coleman PU same model as we had… :shock: . Just not as upgraded or new as ours but it is in fair shape for the cheaper price, he got a good deal and it needed some work. So we have been working on it. Now I’m working on his camper…
but he is learning too so that’s a good thing.
Our DD has 3 little cutie pie kids and a DH. Her DH was a camper kid and really likes camping and they have camped with us a few times along with the grand kids. Now here our Coleman Mesa PU would have really worked well as it had 2 king beds and 2 sofa couch beds. But it is now gone and a T2499 is not a 5 person and dog kind of camper. Plus they do not have a TV large enough.
As Cindy and I are cleaning up the camper I look and say, man this thing is too good to sell.
Just like the PU was. So I said, can we going camping in it? :idea: Well while she does like the T2499 but she really likes the T310SR. She likes her slide. So I could not really talk her into camping in the little one when we have the big one that is as immaculate as the little one.....
So here I am, now what? :? The T2499 sleeps inside my outbuilding and eats up over ½ my work shop. 8 feet wide and 26 feet long can do that…. The new one sits outside as it is too big for the shed. The F350 handles the big camper and gets just as good a gas mileage as our Suburban did on the T2499. So the TV is not a problem.
It will be a year or more before a larger outbuilding comes. Need a new roof on the house first. We fully own both campers so there is no loan issues I have to get out from under. And I'm still wrestling with, you need to find it a new home…. We really do not need 2 campers… :!: .
So before I start aggressively trying to find it a new home, any thoughts :?:
Here is what it looked like this weekend. This layout fits 2 or 3 people well.
Now the best part, inside. We really love the rear living area layout. The T310SR is a all grown up T2499. Same floor plan just more room.
Here is the table down
Table up but small. Leaf taken out
And ready to dine.
The kitchen is very convenient with everything right at your finger tips. And 2 people can easily pass by each other walking thru the camper. That is what sold Cindy the 1st time. We could not do that in the PU
.
And it has an easy sitting and watching TV entertainment center.
The walk around bed front room has 3 windows plus a exterior door and window in it. Sunline was noted for bright interiors and this one is for sure on both ends of the camper.
And it has a large bath where you can sit and not hit your knees and actually get dressed in…
And a roomy shower for a TT that is easy to step into. Not a tub shower.
Well any thoughts for my bad case of Camper Separation Anxiety?
Thanks
John
