Episode 70: Collecting Girl Camper Style




Girl Camper show

Summary: My guest this week is my old friend Carol Thompson. Carol and I have been shopping and junkin' together for decades. We have also been camping over the last ten years with the Queen's of Glamping and we know what they are buying and where they are getting it as well as what they are paying for it. We are going to talk about how the Girl Campers are using their vintage finds to accent their trailers and provide needed storage solutions.     We also have a give away from Lawn Chairs USA to talk about. Lawn Chairs USA is donating a set of reproduction aluminum lawn chairs to a lucky winner. These chairs are made in Georgia and can be custom ordered to match your vintage trailer, bring some nostalgic charm to your new trailer or to promote your favorite sports team. <a href="https://www.lawnchairusa.com/">Lawn Chairs USA</a> started in 2010 with the  idea to bring back a classic piece of Americana. To be in the running to win a set of two chairs you can go to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlcamper528/">Instagram</a> and tag a friend on the photo of the chairs and write, "I want to win" in the comments. You can also sign up for blog updates to be entered into the drawing.   I am sharing the details of my new to me 2014 Ford F150 Lariat and why I chose it. The most important feature is its 9200 pound towing capacity. That leaves me the option of a future trailer upgrade without having to replace my tow vehicle. The GVWR of my current trailer is 3300 pounds. The axle ratio allows for another 832 pounds of cargo. At a little over 4100 pounds the new truck can easily handle my trailer but it leaves me the option of upgrading in the future.
