We took out our new camper last weekend on our annual trip to Badlands National Park - and oh, we love it! Come on in!
After coming in the door, to your right is our bedroom. I get a real bed. This is a big thing. I slept soooo good!!
And to your left would be the living area - the dinette . . . (yes, that would be a flat screen TV mounted in the cupboard [comes as standard equipment], and NO, we do not plan on using it often!)
And the VERY comfy couch - although it didn't get much use this weekend - we stayed quite busy.
Looking towards the rear of the camper - back in the left corner are the boys' bunks and behind that door is the toilet and shower.
Boys' bunk beds. They slept good too - slept in every morning!
The bathroom sink, which is outside the "bathroom". Nice feature.
Standing in the back, looking towards the front (our bedroom doorway is over on the right):
Our first day started out with an "incident." Our friend's dog went galloping right over the edge of a cliff. And it was a HUGE drop-off. Luckily, the dog managed to stop himself along the wall of the drop-off and he actually held still until Scott could figure out what to do (that's Scott laying there trying to keep his attention, and Jen attempting to get a picture). You have no idea how incredibly far down it goes right out of this "window." Obviously, neither did the dog. I thought for sure the whole thing would end badly.
However, at that moment, a camper drives up and they happened to have a bunch of rope, and the guy HAPPENED to be a rock climber and was well-versed in rope tying. So, this stranger made himself the anchor, tied up Scott and Scott went over the edge to rescue the dog. In all the excitement I didn't get any photos, except the crowd we attracted . . .
Happily, Sam (the dog) made it out safely. Whew. 
Day two . . .

The Badlands is the kids' favorite camping trip of the season. Here's why.
