    The most notable thing about this, the surrounding area and the view towards the house. A completely different place. Like night and day. Hard work, hard work. 👍👍❣️❣️
    I hope it is a quick sell.

    I can see where it's time to say goodbye to the camper, but it was perfect for your needs a year ago. Considering that it's nearly half a century old, it's in great shape. I hope you find a buyer soon. The proceeds will be useful, too. 🎉

    Alrighty then...I think that went very well. I remember when you went and got it,has it really been that long ago?,gee, time flies. Yeah, I guess it has. You know while we have been watching you, life has been happening with us ,too. I cleaned out a house and moved to another,several Thanksgivings and Christmases,birthdays,anniversaries,friends made,and departed,illnesses and recoveries,my grandson married last year. So many things we haven't recorded other than some snapshots here and there but yeah life happens. You have really shared a lot of yours with us. I want you to know I haven't taken it lightly. You have filled many a lonesome time,cheered me when I was down,shown me things I would have never seen. Shared your challenges and triumphs. You're more than guy on UA-cam,you're a good friend.😊❣from Ky.

    I remember way back when you got this 1975 Prowler that you used to use when you first started to edit your videos. With everything, must end to make way for other things, in the future. It served it's purpose.

    I enjoyed this, Robert. I was comparing the camper to the one my mom had when I was a kid. Yours is larger. My mom's was a 1968 Leisure Time. I hope it sells fast for you.

    I love the old campers. They seem to be popular right now. People use them for garden sheds and pool houses. We saw a lot of the U.S. with a camper.

    I wasn't so worried about the camper as I was Blue getting in the way when you were pulling the camper out with the tractor. I was yelling with you Blue get out of the way. My husband ask me who I was yelling at and I told him Blue the dog on UA-cam. He started laughing and just shook his head .

    I remember the OBF episodes hauling the camper off an old family campground. You were ecstatic with a place to stay on the farm. You said in the video, the camper can go because of the successes you've had on the farmhouse. Don't know what your plans are, I can guess there may be more work on the kitchen floor and walls.

    Yes, they were fun days. Days of fresh discovery and inspiration and Aaron on the go. And a new Blue. He's become very responsive to directions. ( Thank goodness) How about a mattress protector if you are going to use it as a holding port. Looking forward to seeing the door improvements. 😊👋

    Continue to get your stuff out of it, vacuum everything including the draws. And then close the windows and give it a bath. Get the sticks and stuff off the top, and out of vents. She should sell pretty quick.

    I seem to recall a couple of days where you were looking kinda peeked from the heat/humidity, & what saved you from being dangerously ill was that hide-away.---I wonder what the buyer has planned for it, & if any of that will include owning a piece of the Farm!

    Personally, I like the way you get rid of things instead of being the farm that kept every old piece of machinery or every old car or whatever. You see it all the time. And I think why??? My relatives were no better. Now if it was a genuine antique, like your old buggy/wagon or your old tractor, yeah! But just a few pieces, not a farm graveyard/junkyard.

    The phrase you are looking for is coating the roof top. It's going to need some work. All depends how much you asking for. It's at least a 25 ft travel trailer. You should be able to get at least 500 dollars for it . Maybe even more.
