We found an Aliner popup camper on the local Facebook swap and shop, went down to check it out, and brought it home. It's in good shape, generally. According to the former owner, it's crossed the Continental Divide four times on trips to Alaska and/or Canada.
I've replaced the battery, disinfected the water tanks that hadn't been used to boondock since the current owners bought it. mounted the spare tire, and we're going on an easy trip to make sure my wife is willing to sleep outside of a hotel/house again.
Note: she swore that once we could afford it, she'd no longer "camp", even though I have more tents/shelters than I'd care to admit....
Photos to come after our trip to Skidaway Island State Park.
It's basically this model (photo borrowed for the time being)
We already plan for a week on the Gulf coast in August, and I hope we can get it out into the Apalachicola National Forest and Tate's Hell for some boondocking before then. There are great, quiet/private/underused campgrounds on the Florida Panhandle if you avoid the public stuff along Hwy 98 and like swamps.
