Hello, first time pup owner....but definitely not new to camping, I tent camp year round...just recently was given an a 1986 Jayco 1008 DD pup..in near perfect shape, only had to pay for title transfer...guy was gonna trash it and said if I wanted it come get it..so 2.5 hour drive down, it was hooked to my Tahoe and on the way to a new home...remodeled the inside to update it a bit, and add some storage space. LOVE IT !! Had a few trips this year (got it in August) and will be taking out soon for my annual Christmas camping trip. That said I..glad to be here !
