My wife and have been going camping since the first year we were married. I love going and it really just is nice to relax by the campfire at night. We started out with a tent and used it for a few years. I wanted a camper and due to the law in Iowa the only way to pull a camper and a boat is with a 5th wheel. Well we all know how much they are new. I wanted to get a pickup camper but the wife thougt it would be too small inside. Then in the spring of 2006 I saw a low profile 5th wheel camper for sell. It was older, a 1988 and I checked it out and thought, this is it we found our camper. I called my wife and told her about it and the next day we looked at it and 2 days later the deal was made and the camper was ours. They guy dropped it off at our house for us. the hitch came with it but I didn't have it put on yet. that weekend we used my dads truck to pull it for a weekend of camping. I have never looked back. Now camping is a much easier task. No packing the truck we just load the food, clothes and dogs, hook up and off we go! It lets us camper earlier in the year and later in the fall. I don't like going when it is too hot either, even with the AC I want it to be nice and I want to spend most of my time outside.
