 AustinBostonAustin, what you need is Dr. David s Pop-Up Camper Winter Therapy Course! It s an easy self-help program designed to appease the " inner camper"  that resides in all of us, desperately trying to break free in times of camping lassitude, languor, and lethargy.
 
 First, walk outside and talk to your camper. It needs your attention, craving your company. You think it s fun being covered in snow all winter? Pop it s top, and caress it s fabric. Show it how much it means to you.  Finish setting it up, treating it as you would a trusted friend. Don t rush, you ve got plenty of time.
 
 Find some Christmas trees that haven t made it to the local landfill yet. Stand a few around your camper so it feels like it s in the forest. Ahhhhh, you can smell that evergreen aroma wafting through the pores of the canvas. Imagine that sound you hear isn t really your neighbor s dog howling again, but a pack of coyotes. It s the Call of the Wild, and you are One With It.
 
 Grab that old Weber BBQ, and pull the legs off it so it sits at ground level, prop some bricks around it, and build a fire. Let a little smoke drift by you, softly invading the layers of clothing surrounding your body. Breath deeply, and remember that perfect flame you kindled so many months ago, at that campground you miss so dearly.
 
 Suspend a hunk of cow (ox?) over the flame. The primordial sensation of preparing your hard-won meal sears the trappings of civilization from your soul, and you rise up to pop the top from a well deserved liquid refreshment of your choice. Yes... Your Choice! Your choice, because you refuse to be a victim, held hostage to the cruel demands of the calendar. Yes, a man on a mission. Yes, a man ready and willing to camp where no man has camped before. Yes, it s The Backyard in January! Yes! Yes! YES!
 
 There, don t you feel better now? [:)][:D][;)]

 tlhdocThe only thing worse than having PU fever is having PU fever when your by yourself and don t have anyone to " share"  it with.  You know what they say " Misery loves company."  hehehe.
 
 Unfortunately, I cannot camp as much this summer (although I may be wrong about that if my mom has anything to say about it.  When it comes to camping, she doesn t understand the word " no." )  Fortunately though, I live in a place where I can put my Poppy up in the back yard if I feel the need to do so and can do some back yard camping.  While its not as good as the real thing, its better than nothing.
 
 I too, am counting the days until spring.  Well, the days ARE getting longer and we re only a couple of months away from nice, spring weather.  Never mind the fact that as I write this, its snowing like crazy outside with up to 8 inches expected....YIKES!!

 tlhdocI think DS has it worse then we do.  Besides hugging and kissing The Mothership, he is all ready packing for the trip to Hillsdale at the end of march.

QuoteI wouldn t say I have the fever. But I did put the camper up today. Just wanted to see how it was doing, and if it missed me or not. It was great. It was good just to take a cup of coffee out and set in it. Now doesn t that sound stupid!

 
 IT sure looks like you have the FEVER.  But, what ever you are doing, have fun.  
 
 Your not the only one that has set up your camper and had coffee in it.  But, I haven t done it this year. ( because my husband stored our camper at his grandma s).  My fever is getting high, hopely the RV Show in Richmond will bring it down a little.[:D]
 
 Thanks to Springer02 for letting me know about this show.
