Yup, same way it happened for us.
Thought we'd rent a camper to see how we liked it, then thought we'd go a little deeper in and buy used.
Dropped in to a local lot to see what they had around and a hour later:
Wha-Bam!
Impulse buy.
Probably the biggest one yet.........:doh:

Nice camper you bought racedaymechanic. Guess you went to Tom Johnsons in Charlotte I suppose. He has some nice stuff and he has another sales lot in Marion. Good luck on the application at Tony's team.

Great White, that is a nice camper you have. Is that a 32 or 34 footer? I could get the wife to camp in one of those. One of these days I am going to pull the trigger on one. That is the main reason I bought my 2500HD, I knew in the future I would be buying a decent sized camper.

Nope, 4 people fit just fine with room to spare. Like sitting at a good sized kitchen table. There's a leaf that slides out of the end.
Must be the angle that makes it look like a no go...It's also in the stowed and strapped position for traveling in that pic.

maybe...I thought you had to move it out into the middle of the camper to use it...

Not possible. Bolted to the floor.
I've had 4 adults around it playing cards, no issues.
Lots of room to play, have chips and dip, and set your beers down.
We've had several large dinners at it also.
It's oddly bigger than it looks, but it works!

Bruce, which fifth wheel is yours? I couldn't read the name because the awning post is in the way.

Well went and picked up the RV last night, Brutus pulled it well and the 5th wheel tows great, now the bad news the freshwater tank FELL OUT FROM UNDER IT!! on the way home Im not kidding, so I cut everything loose, and stuffed the tank and assorted other part and drove 45 miles back to Tom Johnsons this morning I was waiting there when they came into work at 7:30 they assured me It will be top priority and are getting a new tank overnighted, So that pretty much ended my Camping Trip for this weekend. There were a couple pretty good grades I go up on the way home and I was able to accelerate up them, Temps were good EGT never hit 900f around 12 pounds boost at close to wot, cruising at 65 3-4lbs of boost, so I am very happy with the truck
