Complete Restoration has Started on 1989 Skamper 240C Pop Up

We decided to bite the bullet and go all in on the pop up Skamper Camper restoration. Today all of the canvas came down and we will be sending it to Bear Creek Canvas. They have been quick to respond to our request for quote and we have read lots of good things about them. We did find some soft spots in the floor but they do not go all the way through. Should be an easy repair. Next up while were waiting for our new canvas is to pull the cabinets and redo the floor. The materials should be cheap, just need the time to get it done. Stay tuned.

1989 Skamper 240CPop Up Update

We got working more on the Skamper Camper. It got a good overall cleaning and the cushions pulled and washed. We are now planning to pull cabinets from it and install new flooring. We are also looking into replacing the canvas sides. This will leave us with a great road worthy pop up camper for well under the cost of a new camper.

1989 Skamper 240C Pop Up Camper

We will now be embarking on a new adventure in frugal traveling. We purchased a very affordable 1989 Skamper pop up model #240C. It needs some work but it is definitely a great start for our family to begin camping. Check out the pictures and come back often. We will be showing the work we will be doing to get our new used Skamper camper up to snuff for many more years of camping fun.

Travel for this Summer

The high cost of airfare will be pushing us to travel by vehicle this year instead of flying east. This is a good thing since we are planning to go to Yellowstone National Park. Everything is still in the planning stages but I look forward to bringing lots of great pictures back.

Upcoming Summer Travel Plans

Hi All,

This summer will probably include road trips in the car instead of air travel. Prices are going up on airfare and I have lots of people to pay for tickets. We are starting to look at our options but the possibilities are exciting. WE are looking at visiting Utah.

McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty New Mexico

McCall's Pumpkin Patch is located in a farming community outside of Albuquerque in Moriarty New Mexico. We like to go there every year and so far every year has gotten better. The price of admission is under $10 per person and all of the activities are free once you are inside. You are allowed to bring your own food in which is great for families and they have multiple picnic areas to eat at.

There are many activities for the whole family to enjoy and we had a great time this year. Here are some of the fun things to do:

• Corn Maze
• Tractor Ride to Pumpkin patch
• Petting Zoo
• Bunny Town
• Corn box
• Jumbo Air bag jumper
• Kids jumper
• Kids pedal cars
• Adult pedal cars
• Pumpkin Launcher
• Big slide
• And lots more

If you get a chance look them up and go take a visit, http://mccallpumpkinpatch.com/ .

Great Weekend Trip on Vallecito Lake, Colorado!

Just got back from an awesome weekend trip in Vallecito Colorado. Wonderful national forests, beautiful views, and stayed in a great cabin at The Blue Spruce RV Park and Cabins. We loved our cabin that comfortably slept four people. There was so much to see and do that one weekend was not enough time to do it all. We will be back for more.
