When isn't a good time to start a new blog. I often wonder how many unused and unseen blogs are out there floating around. I am starting this one because as of this past weekend we sold our 1998 Aliner that we restored and my current blog was really all about that camper and I realized I needed/wanted one that was more focused on our camping adventures, insight, experiences and finds rather than just one camper. My husband and I have been camping since before we were born. It's in our blood and we love to get out there. We spent most of our lives together camping in tents until a few years ago when we rescued a rotting Aliner from the salvage yard and restored it. We loved that camper so much and spent a lot of time doing it over and documenting for future workers of similar projects, see our Aliner Blog here. But long before we stumbled across her we had been looking at full size travel trailers. Every year we go to the camp show and countless times we've dragged our poor children through camper showrooms to never actually buy one. Well this year that changed. We went to the Boston show, second time, usually we just go to the free Worcester show but since they combined it with the boat show it's fairly useless. Mike's cousin sells at our local RV retailer so we had someone we felt comfortable dealing with and we finally came across the right camper for us. It had everything we wanted as far as bed space, styling and weight. The show price was great, we were able to get a little more off of that too plus I just happened to get a raise at work that would cover the rest of the financing. The perfect storm. We bought a 2012 Keystone Bullet 230BHS with the Godiva interior. Our first trip is planned for April, what has become our annual trip to Myrtle Beach. In the meantime we've been packing her up, outfitting her with storage solutions, new sheets and playing with all the goodies and learning how everything works on a big camper. My parents had trailers while we were growing up but of course I never ever paid any attention to what they did to them, lol. We've also been watching lots of YouTube videos and who would ever thought we'd be thankful someone made a video about how to dump and maintain your black tank? Here are some stock pictures of our new camper and the floor layout. Oddly enough I haven't taken any yet of our actual camper but I'm looking forward to many pictures, updates and memories in it.

Stock photo of bunk area. I already made new sheets for both bunks. So expensive to buy RV sheets....and they're smaller, WTH?
Dinette slide out. Ours has an upgraded light fixture and different color scheme, including dark brown legs on the table, thankfully.
