hey everybody my name is sam and i'm angela and welcome to our channel
viewers of our channel will know that this is the camper we're borrowing from angela's
parents to stay in boondock at my brother's farm while we work on our new property
however this thing's got to go because we're going from this to this let's go camper tour coming up
so welcome to the camper isn't it awesome this is probably the cleanest it'll ever be but hey
that's wonderful so it feels so much more spacious in here than the old camper did and i guess it
makes us appreciate this so much more we really like the natural light coming in too because we
like well-lit areas so right now you are in the living area we have a pull-out couch right here
and a little chair that you'll get to see in a minute and then we have our kitchen area we have
tons of cabinets and space to put food and dishes and stuff like that still kind of messing around
where things will be going a nice double basin sink and we did have to add a new faucet the
other one was leaking out of several places and i really needed a sprayer to be able to
hand wash the dishes better we do have a gas stove here which i've actually never really
cooked on before so this will be new for me and then microwave up here the fridge is electric or
propane which will help i'm sure at some point and if you'll look over here we have the dining area
it's a full dinette that all four of us can sit at and it has a nice big window that we can
open up and let the fresh breeze come in because since we're getting into fall now
it's actually feeling very nice outside especially with the breezes this too does let down into a bed
but since what has bunks back here that you'll see in a second we won't have to put these down
so here are the two bunk beds we have elijah's up top and isaac's on the bottom
and since they are little caves when you pull down the shades they boys sleep awesome in here and
i'm just tickled about that one thing that was kind of neat if you do have a camper like this
are the mattresses are very thin and since they're a lot smaller a regular twin size
won't fit on them you would have to like put straps and stuff to hold it i was afraid that
they would be able to fill it through the small mattress so i made huge pillow slips
to put on underneath actually a twin size flat sheet fit perfectly for me to just like zip down
the edge with the sewing machine and then cut off the excess and twirl it up whatever you want
to say but it fits very well and i don't have to worry about them losing it while they're sleeping
we do have an accordion door right here which helps whenever the boys are ready to go to bed
but we're not so we can stay up so this gives them some privacy and makes it darker for them
to be able to go to sleep one of the things that i absolutely loved about this camper is that it has
extra storage right here a lot of the other ones we looked at did not have any extra storage um
when we start staying here longer term as far as waiting on our house to be moved and everything
this is going to come in handy this is where the boys clothes are going to go
and probably the clothes hamper and that type thing so it is a very large and it has nice
smears on the outside and then here's the bathroom but i'll let sam show you that one
i have been told that it is time for the long awaited highly anticipated bathroom tour and
that i'm the guy to give the tour so check this out this is a very nice
large bathroom especially compared to the 67 avion that we were borrowing from angel's appearance
go around this way so you walk in you got the toilet right there front and center ready to
rock and roll sync vanity light switch runs the led lights here plus an exhaust fan and a vent
most important well used there is a medicine cabinet which is really cool
with stuff in it don't know if we'll show that so the bathroom is great the biggest
question most you are wondering is how's the shower well this is a shower and tub
it's wet i got socks on i have socks on so i'm not going to climb into the tub because it's
still a little bit wet from us taking showers this morning but i'm happy to say and report this is
ginormous compared to that other shower and it is great we have hot water we have plenty of room
we have nozzle on a rope or whatever you want to call it so great it's even
a bathtub although i don't know if anybody's going to take a bath but it has the option
and it is rock solid and sturdy and i don't feel like i'm about to fall through it or
go fled flintstone style whenever i'm in here so two thumbs up from this guy
so here's the nice view from the back looking towards the front you can come on this way
and you can see that we have our nice little armchair here we do have an area here we may take
this out and put a on the wall tv that we can kind of swivel um just so we can hook up the ipads or
something like that with downloaded movies since we won't have internet whenever we're camping
out on the land obviously and the very front is the bedroom it does have a queen size bed in it
i didn't know this until we bought this camper but camper mattresses are usually shorter and a queen
mattress is normally a 60 by 80 but a rv queen is a 60 by 75 this one has the 60 by 80 so you can't
quite get around the mattress to like walk around you kind of get to do as sam calls the turtle roll
i will not show you how that is but pretty much you kind of sit down on the bed
lean on your back and swing your feet over so it's very interesting but take a look at this
wonderful quilt that a viewer made for us she also made some for the boys but those are staying
at home because they use them like every night um but i think somebody heard that i like sunflowers
which i do and so she made it specially for us and even says greenacre homestead and sam and angela
this camper is a 1996 terry model i believe made by fleetwood and is
as far as the side of the sticker on the side of the camper is 29 feet long
it is in phenomenal shape for its age the only things we've had to tweak are the front door
which you guys will have seen that video where i just did a quick little repair
and then i had to caulk the roof at the front corner where it had a little bit of a leak in
and it kind of puckered the front wall a tiny bit other than that all the systems work didn't
have any problems and as you guys can see this is like a time capsule from 1996. original upholstery
cabinetry curtains blinds everything is in very very good shape i don't know if we are exactly
the fourth owners of this camper or not but the person we bought it from their parents bought it
in like 2004 when it was about eight years old and they had it ever since now whenever we got it so
low owners i guess i don't know it's been really well taken care of as far as mechanical systems
and infrastructure utilities the ac works that's what you've been hearing throughout this video
uh okay so for us angela and i this is the newest camper we've ever owned so the fact that it has ac
but then has duct work throughout the camper is awesome and so that works and that's running is
what you hear the propane heater also works or the furnace we used it in the nights because it's been
getting cool at night that works perfectly on thermostat everything's controlled here
um the water heater works great it is propane and electric both like two and one
that's great i mean i don't know what to say like everything works it's really cool
for the price we were able to get this at it's a wonderful camper and truly huge blessing for us
so i'm trying to think of anything else to cover do the turtle roll
do the turtle roll yeah all right i hope i won't do a butt shot this is how we get
in and out of our bedroom it's uh it's it's actually pretty cool it lets you pop your
back a little chiropractic work so as you can see no room for legs so you do this
and that's the turtle roll once you have turtled yourself into the bedroom you've got plenty of
room to stand here the bed is flanked by two large wardrobes where you can hang things there's also
drawers underneath and cabinetry above plenty of storage plenty of room for all of our clothes and
stuff that we keep in here over here there's a really cool retro fold down tv stand otherwise
it's a bedroom which is awesome for us queen size bed room for both of our things plus
extras and is great the beds really comfortable there is storage underneath so it does lift up
i don't know what's the same it's cool it's great so here is the built-in entertainment center with
the camper you got this metal fold down shelf heavy duty with your 12-volt outlet cable box and
outlets for power you can tell this was made in the days of tube tvs the big cubes
so i don't know if this shelf will get used much although it's pretty cool to have here
but i do really like having this plug here because i'll plug up an uh charger for my
watch and my phone and just lay them here on top of the valence over the windows that's pretty cool
and that's how you get out turtle out
so the flooring changes a little bit in here it is still all original we
start out with linoleum in the bathroom the little bedroom area has carpet then we're
back into linoleum for the kitchen dining room area and then we're back into carpet
for the living room and the bedroom up front we do hope to get a steam cleaner
so we can clean out the carpets and probably the upholstery like in the dinette and on the couch
it's not that dirty looking to look at but it is like 25 years worth of dirt and dust and that
type thing well and it's also as we use the camper we're going to get it dirty we have two messy boys
yeah three me um it'll be nice to have it so we can help clean and maintain the upholstery right
one of the other cool things about the camper is it has a fully functioning working and intact
awning it is amazing and wonderful to have just about the full camper's length worth of rain
protection and shade especially this time of year it's getting closer to october and the weather is
nice so it's just really really nice it is i agree well guys hopefully you enjoyed our camper tour
the new to us camper that we were able to get and we're so lucky and blessed that we got
the price range and with how difficult it is to find a travel trailer or camper nowadays it is so
we love it if you have any questions or comments about this video what can they do leave it below
we'd love to read them and otherwise we'll see you guys next time on one of the homesteads see ya bye
you
