Went on a weekend trip to Cooks Forest pa. with my family. The only time it didn't rain was when we set up the camper.  Not only did it rain almost constantly, it poured. With daytime temps in the high 60's and nightime in the high 40's it felt like a late fall trip. I was hoping to get another season or two from my canvas but this rain overpowered what was left of some of the seams. Nothing like duct taping tarps on in a driving rainstorm in the middle of the night! Thank god I remembered to bring a small electric ceramic heater. This was the first time I went to a campsite with cable tv, as I usualy camp in state park campgrounds. If not for that, my kids would have driven us crazy. Of course they ride home was sunny all the way. The best part about it though was that being cramped up in the pup all weekend  gave my wife and I a lot of time to see what modifications we are going to make to be more comfortable. Bye-bye sink, stove and funace, hello extra seating I love cooking on my coleman stove and the sink is too small to be of much use anyway and also more outlets. (My bro is an electrician).
