Gave it a good inside cleaning so it's ready for winter camping! Noticed a little mildew on the bottom of the mattress so ordered some HyperVent. Defender Marine had it on sale.

Well...a sad day. This weekend I took the truck and camper to the Vermont Overland Workshop. Did a bit of trail riding. Got home and gave the camper a good cleaning. Drained all fluids and put the tarp on. Still need to winterize the lines this week.

Sleep tight Palomino until next year...... :-(

The folks in the Northwest (some) put there's away this time of year.
In the Southwest, it's the opposite - they start getting ready for camping season. This sort of applies to the truck camper group, but even more so to the toy hauler group, who play in the desert during the winter.

Indeed. Can't even conceive of "putting away" or winterizing anything. Oct. is the prime month for boating at the river.

Something I should of done 4 years ago...got rid of the Firestone air bags, controller, air lines, and compressor.

Feel free to ship me the parts (minus air bags and brackets), I could use an onboard compressor system [emoticon]

Its officially done now, I have crossed the Columbia River heading southward for winter exploring in the Desert Southwest.

It took me 4 weeks to reach the Columbia River, after leaving Seattle, so I am hoping to make the Desert Southwest, by Christmas.
