   We brought our new 2014 Camplite 21RBS home this week. We
bought it from Little Campers Direct in Aberdeen, MS. Salesman Tommy was great
and the deal was great. They only sell direct so they didn’t take a trade in,
but they agreed to take the RPOD on consignment. They felt they could get a
good price for it and they have a large area from which they draw.

The factory options ordered included: U-shaped dinette, spray
on chassis insulation, A/C, microwave, entertainment package, awning, off-road
tires and axels, LED light pkg, dual propane tanks.

The factory was very accommodating on mods I requested: Custom
designed 4x4 inch rear bumper, black tank back-flusher, added 12V socket in
bath, added skylight in shower, dual battery holder, gas/electric water heater.
These were all installed with excellent engineering and workmanship. Unexpected
upgrades were a ceiling light above dinette and a real 8 inch mattress. That
was a real surprise. 

We spent one night out on our way home and everything worked
fine. One thing that needs work is the cold floor. The temperature got down to
32F and the aluminum floor was COLD! Even with the sprayed on insulation, which
doesn’t really insulate but does block airflow, the bare floor is tough on bare
feet. The included rug helped, but more floor covering is needed to keep the
cold out. Think rugs and Yoga mats. On the plus side the walls and ceiling are well
insulated and the windows are double pane. Also the dual battery rack will hold
two golfers, but not in cases. I’ll rebuild the rack and fix that.

Overall I’m very pleased with the upgraded camper and Little
Campers Direct. The walk-around bed, dry bath, and 7cu.ft. fridge, and slide
out dinette make all the difference in the world.  It’s better than a Hampton Inn!  The new TV (supercharged V6 Tacoma) seemed to
work fine, but the real test is Colorado next year.

So here are the pictures to prove it really did happen. The only thing I could add is a picture of my check! That would really prove it happened 

Enjoy camping,
