My 1977 18' Scotty HiLander Trunkback

[CAJUN LADY]

The happy news is I finally got a "standie" and it's not far from home! The sad news is I'm selling my Teardrop. Yep, she is for sale and I'll be listing it this week. I didn't want to sell it but that was the only way my hubby would let me have the Scotty. It was a very hard decision to make since I truly love my Teardrop but I just want something I can stand in. It will be hard to see it leave but that's ok. Anyway, I think I paid a fair price for it and am looking forward to getting it home. Take a look below.

Wow

Looks like a bargain!!! Congrats!!!!

...I just want something I can stand in.

Congratulations!
I have oft thought about a standie, even building one. Then I remember that one of the reasons I went with a teardrop style is because if it can be seen over the fence, I can't keep it in the back yard. Another is, I'm 6'4", so a standie that would allow me to stand would probably be 7'8" tall or taller!

Enjoy, it looks like a beauty!

Becca,

Cool Scotty!

Good luck with the teardrop sale.

[CAJUN LADY]

Thanks Dave, Cliff and Steve. I have wanted another standie for years, even dreaming about them. But I didn't want a new one - I wanted exactly what I got . . . something I can work on a little to make it mine and I love the Scotty and Shasta's style. I really am excited about this.

Good for you, Becca, steppin up in the world. You really are genuinely excited about your new Standy, and I can see why. Wow, an AC and a TV, all included. Looks like a very clean unit, and appears to be camping-ready. Enjoy your new toy, and keep us abreast of your adventures.

Thanks Roly! I have a 15" flat screen TV that I will be taking out of the Teardrop and putting it in the Scotty. I also want to take the sofa out and put the dinette back in. It looks like the sides of the dinette are still there so it shouldn't be much work.

I do have a question Roly. I am going to sell the Teardrop but I don't know if I should include the foam mattress. I would like to keep it to reuse for new cushions but I'm not sure. I think if it comes down to a make or break sale, I will sell it with mattress but I wonder what others would do.

That is so nice looking -- you got a great deal!!

Congrats!

It will seem like the Taj Majal.

That Scotty is in great shape Becca, you really did well. I bet you got butterflies when you realized the ebay listing was located so close to home. Congrats to you!

P.s. At some point I'm going to have to own a Scotty just for namesake alone.

Thanks Hiker Chick and Scott-y! You took the "Taj Majal" words out of my mouth! I have been on Ebay looking for a good deal for a year but convincing Brian that I "needed" it was another thing. And, every one that I liked was multi-states away from me. When I saw this one was an hour away, I began to drool. I couldn't sleep last night trying to decide if I wanted to bid or regret letting it go so 3 minutes, yes, 3 minutes before the bid ended Brian said to go for it. So, I waited to bid at 30 seconds left and made sure my bid was solid. I was so nervous - it was like winning the lottery . . . whew.

Wow. Gutsy move for something you wanted so badly. Poker player by any chance? ... cool as the other side of the pillow.

well, congrats Becca..welcome to the world of pulling your britches up INSIDE the trailer.

[S. Heisley]

From the picture, it looks like a nice clean Scotty. Congratulations, Becca. Have fun with your new 'baby'.

Maybe now, your hubby will come along on your camping trips, too!

I was very calm, cool and had my thoughts collected as to what I was gonna bid but I wanted to place my first bid with 30 or 20 seconds left, knowing I had a strong bid. I had been watching the other bidders and the price stayed at $820 for a couple of days and only went up to $903. So, I decided to wait it out and would place a firm bid with 30 seconds left. I won Yippee I won Yippee

Ok, ok...time for bed so I need to step away from this forum and take a chill-pill and get some needed sleep. Thanks from my big ole' heart for the sweet support and encouraging words. I haven't even called my family yet...I wanted my Teardrop family to know first. Love you guys and gals. Thanks again. Nite-nite.

[CAJUN LADY]

Thanks Jimmy boy and Sharon. No, can't make Anastasia this year due to some moving plans for my son.

Sharon, I doubt he will camp with me but, but, now he can't use the excuse that it was too small for him and the dog. I really believe he just doesn't enjoy camping anymore but we'll see what happens. Baby steps...little bitty baby steps.
