Hi Everyone,
We just had our first trip out in our recently purchased older Starcraft pop-up camper We left Friday and came back Sunday evening. Here's how it all started: We were going to purchase my brother inlaws, 1987 Jeep Cherokee w/ tow package ( instead of putting a hitch on my 1995 Ford Windstar ). Anyway, the air conditioner went out in the Jeep part way down to the beach ( Rehobeth, Delaware ) and then the Jeep started to over heat, hose blew and we were stuck on the highway. After 2 1/2 hrs and help from a nice mechanic on his way to his vacation w/ wife and kids, we got the parts to fix the Jeep. We're driving alittle further and Jeep starts to over heat again, so we have to drive the rest of way with th heat blasting to keep the engine cool. We get to the campsite ( Holly Lake Campground ) and everything was fine. Ate, dropped the kids off with mother-inlaw and went back to camp w/ father-inlaw and nephew. Chartered a bay fishing trip for Flounder next morning so had to get some sleep. All night two drunk guys singing, yelling and playing music loud, baby crying and Emu's ( petting Zoo onsite ) making niose everytime a car passed by. 2 hrs. of sleep Caught one sea rock ( yes a rock w/ sea urchins and all ) and some unrecognizable fish ( even stumped the Captain and Mate ). Got off boat and we're in search of a storage place to for the pop-up because we can't tow it back to Pennsylvania without breaking down. Found one ( Cheap 35.00 a month ). Got back to kids, ate and went back to campground. Next day was good ( Sunday ), dropped off pop-up, went crabing and swimming and started home. Jeep starts to over heat ( thank god we desided to leave at 7:30 pm, not soooooo HOT! ), drove ALL the way back home with heater on. AND that folks is my story...LOL! Oh did I forget to mention that when I called the campground to see if they had eletric hook-up they assured me that they did....but failed to mention that it was for a 220 line and my RV takes a 110, so we have no, fans, lights, toaster or anything else for that matter.
I've learned alot this first trip. We've already made reservations to stay at Treasure Beach RV Park from Aug. 11th-14th. And YES I asked plenty of questions We're having a tow package put on my Windstar next week and we're getting another cellphone ( hubby left ours on work truck and someone loaded a skid on it *CRUSH*.
Thanks for letting me vent...LOL!
