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,
