and why build it if I can go buy it with the wife's money, eh!!!
Then I read the write ups about it, doesn't look like there are many happy
campers with this gadget.

We spent last night there, Campground Hell that is.
It's a place called Kozy Oaks Kampground in North Branch, MN. I called ahead
and asked if they had an opening with full hookups for the night. No problem
