To Be Continued...

Truck Shopping!

Ok so we been doing some shopping for trucks lately to better suite the camper and we think wee found the one! Its a 2002 Ford F250 4x4. It will haul the camper with no probs and tow a trailer with ease.. So after test driving and looking it over we decided to take my truck and Amandas Bug up there to see if it was possible to trade them in for a even trade with the truck. We were a little iffy cause the truck price was pretty high. But they told us after driving our cars and looking them over that we could make a even swap... Since my truck is in my dads name i have to wait for him to bring me the title and then were done. So hopefully the ford will still be there by the 28th... Keep your fingers crossed!

Change of Painting Plans :(

Ok so we started to paint the rest of the walls and cabnit doors and the paint we bought just didnt turn out the way we wanted. So we are letting it dry and will repaint the walls Black. So all the wall will be black and the doors will be brightly colored and the couch and curtains will be brightly colored. So there will still be plenty of color inside. We are still confident it will look good. Hopefully this weekend we can finish the black everywhere!

OK so we did coat 2 and 3 today of black. Everything that is going to be black is painted now! Might have a few lil touch ups to do tomorrow and that part is done and on to the next color!

Just a Couple Pictures today.

Our New but Old Camper!

1980 Lance Slide-In Truck Camper (TC)

The Start of Our Plans!

Ok So my Name is Andrew Wurst and my girlfreinds name is Amanda Richardson. Amanda's mom(Sheila), stepdad (Lee), 8 year old sister (Megan), & 1 year old sister (Heather) decide they wanted to travel the United States. After hearing the idea we were very excited and said we wanted to go as well. We are hoping to hit the roads around October. We are very Outgoing people so something like this is not very off the wall to us. After a little while of talking it over with her family we decided to start looking for a camper. Her family all ready has one but they are looking for a bigger one since they will have the kids and a dog. We also all ride Motorcycles so we will def be bring them along as well. Since we were gonna tow a trailer with the bikes on it we decided to buy a Slide-In  Truck Camper. We finally found one (a old one, but new to us). We went with a old camper for 2 reasons! 1-Cheap 2-Make our own!

Will be posting pictures soon.

I will be keeping everyone Posted on our adventures of fixing it up and when we get on the road the Adventures of Travelling.
