They were blessed with the best weather we've had in ages. Two days of sunshine and 70 degree temperatures. They all came home quite happy and relaxed.
I'll never forget the thrill when we got this "new" used trailer in 1998. We were preparing for the church campout in July, and the hot water heater in our 30 year old 17 foot trailer (or as Will called it, our "portapotty on wheels") gave up the ghost. The refrigerator already didn't work and it was not worth putting any money into. We went to Junction City knowing we needed a trailer by the next weekend, and got a deal on this used Holiday Rambler. At 27 feet, it was huge and wonderful compared to what we had. It even had a real bed so we didn't have to remake it into a couch every morning! Our boys were half the size that they are now, so it fit us quite nicely then. It doesn't anymore.
We've been looking at RVs for the past year, and knew exactly what we wanted when we found the right deal at an RV show last month. The new 31-foot Cougar fifth wheel we ordered should be rolling off the assemply line very soon, and we will have it in time for our 25th anniversary trip Memorial Day weekend. With slide-outs making the interior very roomy, we will be able to fit all our boys and even their partners inside on a rainy camping day if necessary. We checked out the handle on the refrigerator (always a problem in the past!) and it looks like it would be very easy to operate and difficult for any boys to break. We can't wait!

Your cougar sounds interesting. What model is it? We sell those up here as well, just sold 2 in the last few days. Let me know the model so I know what you got. John
Sounds like fun!! I usually think a camper would be fun, but then how would I tow it and what would my excuse be for staying in a hotel during future campouts????:)
