r/Camper

I just got back from General RV I signed my papers for the camper! I’m so excited, but I’m also scared. I need to figure out a way to end my lease early so I can bring the camper home. By home, I mean a campsite. Still figuring out how to transition from this apartment and ending my lease early and actually start living in the camper full-time. I’m so happy. I’m so excited but also I’m scared. This is the first time I’m on my own ever in my life. I left an eight year abusive relationship in norvember and It’s just me and my dog Joey. My plan right now, is to end my lease early and find a nice campsite around where my current full-time job is. Practice the camp site life and then possibly leave my full-time job and travel the country before winter. I’m a professional dog groomer for the last 10 years and I plan to upgrade the camper to be able to groom Dogs and travel the country. I love any advice the good the bad and the ugly. I wanna know everything to expect.

I am beyond excited! I have always wanted to go full-time in a schoolie/van or camper and travel the country and now I think the time has come to fulfill that dream. I was just approved for a 2026 camper. I got out of an 8 year long abusive relationship in November and I have been on my own since. I have no friends I have no family. It’s just me and my 10 month old Anatolian Shepherd named Joey. I’m planning to end my lease early and live in my camper around the area of where I work for a couple months and then I’m planning to leave my job and travel the country, grooming dogs and making content in my camper and enjoying life. I’m so excited. But also alittle scared.

hallo! i need major advice quickly (before the end of may actually) 💔 our camper has an AC unit in the roof that got damaged during a hurricane when a tree i believe landed on it, and we got some heavy heavy rain for a while and did not cover the roof so unfortunately tons of water leaked in through this broken AC unit and have really damaged the roof :(

the picture isnt recent , and its before there was heavy water damaged, but the circled area is where a majority of the water has built up!

we're wanting to remove the AC unit entirely and fix the roof, but have like no idea what we're doing 😭 genuinely any advice regarding what all we'd need and how to fix it would be SO appreciated 🙏

Hey everyone, looking for some advice on this ceiling damage in a trailer. It was caused by a leak before, but it’s been sealed and hasn’t leaked since.

There are long cracks and some sagging in the ceiling drywall now. Not sure if it’s just cosmetic damage at this point or if there could still be underlying issues.

For anyone who’s dealt with something similar, is this usually a straightforward repair (patch/tape/mud and paint), or does it turn into replacing sections of the ceiling?

Also wondering if this is something DIY-friendly or better left to a pro.

Any input or experience is appreciated!
