SOLD!

I just signed over the title to the Hitchhiker 5th wheel, and picked up my check. I'm relieved, and I hope the new owners are pleased with what they're getting - a spacious RV that is comfortable for full-time living. It is a couple that bought it, so maybe between the two of them they can manage it better than I could. I feel great about it!
Now, the question is, do I buy something to replace it, or do I wait until my next visit to the eye surgeon?

I will have to take care of business tomorrow, cancelling insurance and sending the check to my bank, etc., but maybe I can get my camping stuff together. The big problem is how cold it will get at night in the tent. Maybe I should use my backpacking tent which has a full-coverage fly, and would be warmer than the dome tent I have been using. I don't worry about being cold once I'm in the down sleeping bag, but the dog might be uncomfortable.

I am so relieved I just don't know what to do next for now. I need to figure out an interim header picture for this blog for one thing.

  8. Great news Gypsy... I am so happy for you. Big relief!
    I would take my time and see the eye dr first, if it were me.
    Good luck with your decision.

  10. Congratulations on your sale. I am sure the new owners appreciate how well you took care of it and they will enjoy it as much as you did.

    I wonder if you would consider one of those RV vans, kinda like George & Tioga. Good luck in your search. I am glad you still have that camping fever!

  11. Congrats on the 5ver sale for sure. I am with a few other commenters & think you should step back, take a deep breath, check with your eye Doc & give yourself some time to let the dust settle from the sale. You are a far braver soul than me for sleeping in a tent. Brrrrrr!! But then again, you are an experienced tenter from way back. I am an experienced softy from way back:))

  12. WOW, you must be so happy. That must be a big load off your mind. I hope you will find the right type of camping equipment that you can handle nicely. Take your time to find it.

  20. Bravo on the sale! Instead of a tent, why not a topper or camper on the back of that truck of yours? It would get both of you out of the cold and off the ground, not to mention out of the wet. And, I am just wuss enough to want solid walls around me when I sleep.

    I have worn out three of these. A lot cheaper than a camper shell. I could still drive the truck around the campground with it popped up. My top speed with it up was only about 30 mph. Purchase through Campmor.

  25. WTG finally--my suggestion is to hold off until you really know what you want to do...there are so MANY ways to go. IF I were gonna spend anytime at all in a tent I would want one that I dont have to get on my hands n knees and crawl into..but could walk in and use a cot for sleeping up off the ground--like an army tent!
