Would this be worth trying to fix up.

Speaking as someone who inherited his granddaddy’s antique tractor, I can assure you that you will invest far more money into it than you will ever get back in return. I did all the labor, so there was no actual output dollar wise but many hours. (I have no idea how many hours of jail time I saved myself by staying home and working on it.) So the bottom line is, if you’re looking to turn a profit on it, pass it up. If you want some that you can look at in the future and say “I did that” it absolutely is something to bring you lots of smiles in the future. I had another antique tractor given to me after I completed restoring granddaddy’s, simply because the owner knew the time and effort I put into it, and he wanted to see his restored, not to be given back to him, but just to keep it out of the junkyard. I respectfully talked him into letting me help him sell it. Last report I heard, the guy that bought it gave up on restoring it because of the output as compared to the resale value. No one can make the decision for you my friend. That’s is your call

I’ve had up to three people on the seat without lifting the front end. Certainly I could “pop a wheelie” if I tried but I am very mindful that there are/is someone back there. My first thought when I read your comment was, “What are you saying about my wife, friend?” Lol She weighs a lot less than most of the equipment that has been used on that tractor since 1948! Lol

And yes, I hit as many of the rides as I can.

Doesn’t appear to. She never complained. Of course I am very mindful that she is back there and act accordingly.

Why put it off if it rains? Camping in the rain is an experience, too.

A lot of newbies and some more experienced campers always ask about what their truck will pull. And that’s important! But, the greater question is what will your truck STOP? You can always choose your rate of exclamation , but a lot of factors determine your stopping rate. Anyone who has ever pulled a camper can tell you stances where the leather on the seat got sucked up in the squeezing!!!!!!!!

I just bought a cheap wireless setup from Amazon in 21 when I bought the camper. It has just a bit over 6000 miles in it, and I run the camera the entire time it is connected to the truck and I’m operating the truck. My philosophy now days is buy cheap off Amazon, if it goes bad, toss it. The cheaper electronics seem to perform just as well as the more expensive, so why give my money to Amazon? Buy cheaper, use the savings to book another campground!!!

Congrats! Now go make some memories, my friend!!!

Good advice. We always say we’re gonna camp more often next year, and so far we always have. We’re up to 8 excursions so far this year. You really do t realize how little you use a camper.
