PGHFiend 140 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hey gang, hope everyone is doing well, and Merry Christmas!. I am looking at a used camper in Florida via the interwebs, and was hoping someone would be in to scoping it out before I drive all the way down there. If any takers, shoot me a PM.Thanks!

PGHFiend 140 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks to all who viewed, I found a local person there to check it out and will pass on it. Dealer said it was immaculate inside, and the person I found said the interior was in need of a major cleaning and recommended I replace the carpet and throw out the couch!

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Glad you didn't waste the trip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Thanks! We found one that just came up yesterday and we put a deposit down. Seriously considering hitting the road with it if it looks good when we pick it up on Saturday. Fort is booked but thinking about trying the sherwood forest from the 28th to the 2nd.Anyone down there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PGHFiend 140 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well, we did it! We bought a 2007 Sundance 2800rls. We brought it home on the 26th, we wiped it down inside and out and washed everything. I greased the axles, tested the appliances and luckily aired up the almost flat spare (had a tread separate in southern GA) On the 27th we got the itch, and the 28th we rolled down to Orlando. Booked first at Sherwood but changed to Lake Magic on the way down. I recommend the campground as a great alternative to the Fort, very low key. This camper has some nice touches, but my favorite part is it's a Mid-Profile 5th wheel and I can stand all the way up to the clost in the nose cone. The v10 pulled great with plenty of power, but I did miss the diesel fuel mileage. Although i was paying 1.59 for gas most of the way-definitely a good time for RV'ers right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
