Welcome to the our camping page. Make sure to return I will keep updating. We have enjoyed tent camping for a long time but this year we decided to step up to a Pop Up camper. We borrowed one a last year and really liked it so this year we bought a old 1978 Jayco King. It is 12'9" long folded up.

We went and looked at it and knew it would need some work and some TLC. The guy set it up and we noticed a few rips in the canvas and the back roof rail was rotting out. The floor was solid and it seemed to us that this was the one we wanted. I like working on stuff and this was a new challenge. So we hooked it to the explorer and off we went with it. At home we go to set it up, so we could fix a few things and clean it up, well the crank handle breaks off inside the hole with it about half way up. So I dismantle the front of the camper and take it to a friend that welds me up a new handle. Now I get it up and snap a few pictures.

The only mattress	There were no cushions
Most the doors need replaced	The rips and bad wood

After our first outing we discovered that the whole roof was bad. It rained cats and dogs and the back half of the roof looked like a garden hose was sticking through it. But at least the canvas and the patches did not leak.  
Below are some pictures of what the King looks like now. The only thing left to do is rebuild the back wall and install a window air unit. That will come this winter after we are dome using it for the year.
