Just wanted to introduce my new (to me at least) 2006 Kamparoo Vacationer.
It arrived last week from a RV dealership in Phoenix and I finally had a chance to open it up this morning...
As you can see Dog is happy we take his camping comfort seriously and bought him a Kamparoo. He would like to avoid any future repeats of the below with white fuffy stuff that turns cold and wet when it lands on you!
Special thanks to WookinPaNub for his trailer selection thread and Glen at Kamparoo in Canada for all the info on ordering new. A new one with all the bells and whistles still might find it's way down to Colorado in a couple years!
A few other Kamparoo threads I stumbled across that are worth checking out: kevint's Trans-Continental, jmaxch's Trans-Continental, and mmuthart's Kamparoo project thread I plan to borrow some ideas from for future "upgrades."
On a lot of build threads I often wonder if a similar build is in my budget... below is a running parts list. Not counted is endless hours of labor and the requisite microbrews.
2014:
$2,500 - Kamparoo (after a lot of negotiating)
$500 - Tax & Shipping
$212 - Tongue Box
$20 - AL L channel and attachment hardware
$36 - Velcro, Zipper Parts, Scrap Canvas
$11 - Assorted screws and hardware
2015:
$470 - Canvas updates and repair
2016:
$50 - Light repairs/upgrades
$300 - Registration/new plats (lifetime total)
$4,069 - Running total as of 08.15.15
2016 Winter Budget:
$500 - Steel for new frame
$1,000 - New suspension w/ brakes
$500 - New rims/tires (leaning towards a 6-lug Toyota pattern)
$500 - New electrical components... LED lights/water pump, air, etc
