The hunt continues....................

This was a post on my other blog a couple of years ago.  I was just thinking how not much has changed...Check it out.


This one is a '70's Glendale 20ft.  The outside is pretty good for its age,

but the inside needs work.  (Which really, is what we are looking for)

Nice Chandilier!!!   lol

Negatives:

• leak in the roof (they all do at this age)
• ceiling caving in (and someone started to fix it, but thankfully stopped - not pretty!
• dirty
• floor in front of the door is rotten
• step needs welding
• top bunk is on an angle - needs re braced
• 1 known leaky window

Positives: 

• good name
• double axle and seems to sit nice & high
• larger than we had hoped
• outside in decent shape
• leaks can be fixed
• we can clean and even paint or reface
• sleeps 6
• FULL BATHROOM!
• lots of storage
• takes full size car tires
• fibreglass corner moldings on the exterior
• has awning - did not see the canvas opened, but the mechanism seemed good

FULL BATHROOM!!!!!!!!Shower / tub to the right - Comes complete with a fly strip at no extra cost!!

Hmmm, it wasn't jumping out at me, but now that I have the pros & cons sorted...it may not be a bad deal for $800...hmmmmm

I think in my brain, I was really hoping for a "cutsie" canned ham, or even a toaster!  We will see.

Pembroke & Pettawawa

My parents go to Pembroke every year for a Fiddle Festival...but it is so much more than that!  It is 3000 people camping in a soccer field, packed in like sardines, enjoying 10 days of all different kinds of music. Guitar picking, bluegrass, country modern & old, step dancing, etc. We went with them several years ago, & it really surprised us how much we enjoyed ourselves.    This year we decided to go again.  We drove 8.5 hours, set up camp (tent) & went to bed.  The next day we went to the Military Museum in Pettawawa, but on our way we saw these: (excuse the gazillion photos)

T@B Teardrop Travel Trailers

OMG, OMG, OMG....I WANT one!!

1 minor problem...we have 2 boys - big boys!

So pretty :)

a little too tiny...

No kitchen...

Too boy-ish...

Super Cute, but still only sleeps 2.....

Awesome kitchen though...

We were very impressed with the quality of these trailers.

Outdoor shower :)

Cool fenders :)

Unfortunately, just not big enough.  Maybe after the boys are adults we will have to get one of these babys!

***Turns out we should have bought one...after being in Pembroke for around 24 hours, they got torrential downpours, & we seriously got rained out!  All of the mattresses, all of the sleeping bags, all of our clothes, EVERYTHING was soaking wet!  So we had no choice but to pack up & go home.  :( 

 No more tenting for us!!!
