I got my new camper tonight. It's not actually new just new to me. Lemme tell ya the whole story.
Sunday, on the way back from our night in St Augustine.....
....I saw this little beauty on the side of the road at a boat dealership and thought that is exactly what I've been looking for!
So I had Monday off and my mom and I happened to decide to go back to eat at the Floridian and just happened to pass by this camper again and decided to pull in.
Here we are checking things out.
The windows open and little screens come down or you can pull the privacy blind down.
The gas stove has never been used so of course I'm so excited about it.
Have to mention it cause this is a food blog after all.
There is a skylight.
We both agree it could sleep, like, 20 people.
The only problem was convincing the hubs. A non camper.
I called him while we were at the dealership.
Babe...so I found a camper.
He said, what the *$&#**##*#*&$& we don't have the money for a (*&&*(( camper!
Ok so we'll just talk about it later.
We talked and I presented my side and he sent his dad out there (who is an electrical engineer) and my dad out (very long background in camping and can fix anything) to test everything out. The AC, heat and gas stove functioned perfectly.
So here it is Wednesday night and I have it in my hot little hands.
And Chris picked it up for me.
And is ready to put rims on it.
And was looking at accessories on line.
For someone who doesn't like camping he sure does seem a little excited. Ha!
Look at my little muffin in the bottom left corner. She was all excited about "Gabby's Camper".

Laura
Wow! Congratulations. This has to be the CUTEST thing I've seen all day. Well, besides you and your husband. That tiny kitchen is adorable. Thanks for sharing your new baby!
Laura...I will have to check that out. It would be so much fun! I got such an amazing deal on this so I was able to just make the case that I work full time and will use my own $$!
Monet, thanks girl!!! I can't wait to start using it.
How fun!!
That is the cutest little camper ever, Dawn! I love all the red trim. Can't wait to see what gourmet camp fare you cook up on that adorable little stove!
I must admit I am little jealous! I've never thought about getting a camper before, but it is so cute! What is the brand/model?
It is a T@B T16 made by Thor who also makes airstream. From the website I do not believe they are in production any more but there are still dealers that carry the remaining stock. I am SO in love!
Oh my.. it is soooo cute!! I'm not a camper, but that thing is adorable!
Devon! Miss ya girl! Thanks. It really is so cute.
This little trailer is a beauty, and in good condition. I worked for my parent's RV business while I finished college. It was always fun to have little gems like this on the lot. This is a great deal. Your hubs will want to take it out in no time. Have fun!
Ooo I bet that was fun. I used to love to go to camper shows and check out the inside of all the campers.
It is so lovely and just so cute. Almost pocket size made for big kids! Enjoy.
I'm never seen one like this! It's so adorable and I love the shape. I'm so surprised it fits all of that in it because it looks so tiny. Congrats on your new big purchase!
Ooo exciting! It is so cute!
I think it's safe to say you can always count on men to get excited about motor vehicles. even if they resist.
Oh, if I could count the things I like that my husband used to NOT like. I think you have a budding camper on your hands! Have fun!
This is amazing...I want to buy one of these EXACT same trailers and just travel around the U.S. I hope I find one for sale that is as nice as this! Congrats on the awesome purchase, I hope you are able to make lots and lots of memories with it!
I'm taking her out for the maiden voyage next weekend. I can't wait!!!!
