Going to pick up our NEW CAMPER tomorrow!!!!

[ScoobMaster]

Back in January we traded in our trusty Starcraft Venture 1706 popup camper (small 8ft box) for a new 2003 model year (leftover) Coachmen Clipper 128 Sport Plus

The day is (finally) almost here! Tomorrow (Friday 4/8) we have our pickup/walkthrough at 2pm at Meyers RV Superstore in Syracuse NY. My wife and I are taking the day off to spend the morning after the hour-plus drive from Endicott at the Carousel Mall before going to Meyers (we decided to celebrate and make a full day of it!) I can't wait (geez, I feel like a little kid on Christmas eve!)

I don't have any pictures of our actual unit (yet), but if you are curious here is an eBay auction (closed) with some great pictures:

Coachmen Clipper 128 *PICS* (auction)

The one pictured there is a 2002, but with the exception of the colors (and the fact that mine does NOT have A/C) the layout is identical.

Bring on the good campin' weather!!!!!!!

(editted to add picture link to "old" camper)

My parents had a popup camper when I was a little kid. We used to go camping about once a month. Great memories! 😀

Me too - perhaps that was partly behind my buying one in my adult life (although i think my wife not enjoying our tent becoming the center of a drainage "riverbed" during the night of the eternal thunderstorm in the 1000 islands had the most to do with it) 😉

We hope to make many wonderful memories with this one (my 4y.o. so LOVES to camp!)

Where are all the ATOT campers????

I've been camping, but not with a camper. Just a good ol' tent for me.

Yep - we *used* to tent too. Then came the "night of the eternal thunderstorm" and my wife decreed that we were "getting off the ground into something more solid" 🙂

Only a few hours to go now before we tow it home (gotta get some sleep 😉 )
