I paid $6500 for my camper 3 years/60,000 miles ago and have almost spent $6,000 on it since (not including fuel). A lot of that was accessories, wheels, awning, etc... so I must be the exception. I'm pretty sure I could get my original purchase price back out of it, but don't know why I would sell it, I'd probably end up buying another one. Anyway, I was supposed to be driving to Dallas for spring break in mid-March with my wifes family, but we're flying her to Orlando instead. I was hoping to run into Stan while I was there. :>) Thanks,
