New popup (tent) camper
As you may or may not know, I’ve been actively camping with my daughter this past year, and it has been very exciting. We are part of the YMCA program, Safari Princesses. This being my first year I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it has been nothing short of great. The people in our tribe are fantastic people and we all enjoy getting out to spend time with our daughters and giving them an opportunity to play freely. Now that this program is over for this year, I started planning for the next season. I found a good deal on a popup camper on Craigslist, and made the purchase. My girls couldn’t be more eager to go on the next campout. They’d be plenty happy camping in the driveway if I’d let them. Anyway, what most new buyers don’t realize and old buyers already know is that you aren’t just buying the camper. The are a lot of other expenses associated the purchase. Besides the obvious license registration, there may be some sales taxes, storage costs, maintenance costs. You’ll also find yourself needing to purchase items for camping you didn’t need before. It adds a new level of complexity, but it sure makes ‘roughing it’ pretty comfortable.
