I am in Mansfield, MO and I now I have a 15ft camper trailer, a 1981 Coachmen Caper-XL 1800. It has a stove, refrigerator, sink, a half bath and air conditioning.
If your know where I can get an owners manual on it Please let me know.
I would like to do some re-wiring. I have rebuilt the forward bed area. So That I could have more storage area. I have draped a blanket over the storage area to hide all the stuff under the bunk bed.... I want to add another storage shelf above the bunk bed as well. The other end of the trailer I want to rebuild as well. I hope to replace the table and have a wall to wall shelf space for all my books, movies, music, home theater system and monitor. Maybe add a swivel bar stool or two. I hope to move my 2 meter radio inside and add a full weather station to broadcast local WX and alerts. I have made a couple amateur radio contacts here locally but it seems that most want to meet on Saturdays which is my Sabbath Day, (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). Back in Alabama they meet on a weeknight (Tuesdays).
The weather is a little different here and I think I have got adjusted to it now. But I stay in front of a fan 95% of the time. I certainly miss air conditioning. My is working but cost to much to run. So I do love my trips to the store. A big change I had to make was switching from T-Mobile to US Cellular. I really hated that, I hope US Cellular will be has good to me as T-Mobile was. I really wished that T-Mobile was bigger and that I did not have to lose them after seven years. Another switch has going to a low end DSL for internet, instead of cable (that really sucks).
The family and farm I stay at are great, I have become apart of their family and enjoy the small farm lifestyle. But I really miss my chihuahua (Sugar Marie) very much, Missouri has a crazy law that says you can not have more than 5 dogs on one property at any given time. I am dying to have a tiny teacup chihuahua so bad.... maybe a ferret would work as a replacement for a dog??? Maybe I could call it "Doggie".
Of course living on a farm allows me to shoot my air rifle as much as I like. Now that I have adjusted to the weather I have been doing just that. Maybe I will actually get a real firearm - at least a .22 cal. I have a fancy for that Ruger 22 Charger, that is a sweet pistol. Put a 14" bull barrel on it and a high power scope and the snakes would not have a prayer. We don't shoot the critters around here.... but copperheads beware.
