Pic's.............................. Priceless!

Pic's of Rehab are always great to see! Then we can all ewww and ahhhhh over your hard work. Before and afters help others in their re-hab. So far your investment sounds like a great deal and I think all your hard work will pay off for many years to come.................

I knew I world be asked for pics, unfortunately it has been dark whenever I have been home. I will get pictures and post as soon as I can. Thanks for the needed kick.

Mike

Your Welcome .

Sorry Mike, I am a visual person. I like to see what your talking about. I am sure others where wanting to be lookie lou's too, but where just being nice and waiting. Sounds like you have done a ton of work on it. Would love to see pic's of that flooring you got for such a great deal. Speaking of Deal, have you named the trailer yet? Cause the word deal needs to be in the name, the price you got it for and all the other great deals you have got, your one lucky Burro owner.

Yes Pictures please, I have found an abandoned fiberglass trailer, trying to find an owner. I need pictures to spur me to action

Nice Mike. I remember when you snagged that deal of the week....

Taylor,
"...Trying to find an owner."? Are you selling or keeping the trailer you've found? If it's available, I'd like to know more about it. Thanks.

RJ

Six nights so far in MY Burro Priceless

Before the last trip

Replaced three tires ($162) Made all the difference in the world, nice smooth tow, love the new radial trailer tires (instead of the passenger tires that were on it).

Mike

Robin: No name yet but thinking hard. I like the idea of including "deal" in the name.

Mike

Wow!

Makes me think of "Sweet Deal"

That trailer is begging you to change your avatar!

Raya

Excellent! LOVE the game table!!

I've been trying but the new avatar doesn't show with my postings. Must be doing something wrong.

Mike

I'm seeing your new one Mike. So will you if you dump your cache. Currently the old one is cached on your computer.

Thanks Donna, knew it would be something silly.

Aha, now I'm seeing the new one too. Thanks, Donna.

I always love photos with 13-ers next to bigger trailers - they always look so ridiculously tiny, and it's such a contrast to see just how much BIGGER they get to add a few more luxuries.

Our Roo is larger 23 foot vs. 13 foot, but the only extra luxuries are a full bath, microwave, tv, and air conditioning. However, it does have far more sleeping capacity ( 3 queen beds and 2 twins). Its all about sleeping capacity with three teenage sons, and their friends. We had the smallest try and sleep on the front bed in the Burro, he preferred to sleep out in a tent (where he could roll).

On my last weekend trip I pulled up next to one of those 40 foot buses with about five slide outs. That was quite a sight, both my truck and Burro were completely hidden. The bus slept two, so I guess they must have had a few "conveniences" that I am missing, I just can't think what I forgotten that I need for camping.

Mike

Can anyone help ... I can only see 3 of the pictures in this whole topic area, but I'm assuming there's a lot more .. any ideas why I can't see all of them? Thanks. Love the games table in the camper!
