Another project

Looks like I found another recreational activity that required some project work.  To house the grandkids for the holidays, my dad had picked up a 2000 Coleman SantaFe off CraigsList.  The price was just too hard to pass up.  The idea was that the kids could play and sleep in the camper, leaving room for the adults to play in the house.

 This particular pop-up campter was very clean, inside and out.  The only issue we could find were stress cracks on top of the orginal ABS roof.  Knowing this fact, the camper was still a great deal.

 As you can see from the photos, the inside is very clean and extremely spacious for a pop-up camper.  The front bunk is a full-sized queen mattress, and the rear was a standard full.  The camper included an internal propane stove, sink with water pump, a refrigerator, and even a microwave.

After the holidays had passed and the grandkids had gone home, my dad had decided to go ahead and sell the camper.  I instantly jumped at the price, and made arrangements to meet him on a day where I could purchase the camper from him and tow it home.

When we had finally found a day that would work for both of us, we met halfway in central Texas to make the exchange.  Unfortuantely, during transport pieces of the old ABS roof had finally given in and torn off from the windsheer of highway travel.

I had already anticipated having to perform a repair or replacement of the camper roof, so now it was time to do a little bit of research to see what my best options were.

More to come..
