First, I'm a Texan. My wife is a native Texan.
We, and our kids when they were still at home, have loved camping for many years. After roughing it in tents for awhile, we bought a used pop-up camper in 1998. We did our camping with it from then until now. It's still in our garage.
I have just inherited a 2012 Keystone Hornet Hideout from my brother who recently passed away. This camper is one he purchased as an investment, made a few upgrades to, and never used. The original owner, from whom he bought it, used the unit twice, putting a total of less than 400 miles on it, then put it in storage until my brother bought it about 18 months ago. So I have a virtually new 4 - 5 year old camper that I am very eager to put to use.
Upon inheriting this camper, I didn't have a vehicle capable of pulling it. Its loaded weight is just shy of 10,000 lbs. But, in the short time since I inherited it, I purchased a 2013 Toyota Tundra with plenty of towing capacity, so hopefully we are ready to get busy RVing.
Our first trip will come in November, when we camp with our church in a state park. Hopefully, we will manage it well and get the use from it we are looking forward to.
