Welcome to Andrew and Beth Ann Blackburn's Camping Adventures. We hope to share some of our camping experiences, camping photos, and opinions of campgrounds that we visit.
On March 20, 2004, Beth Ann and I purchased a Trailblazer with the 4200 V-6 engine with the intention of buying a small camper...possibly a pop-up. Our particular model Trailblazer could tow a maximum of 5300 lbs. On July 24, 2004, after searching several months at over 17 RV centers in 4 states, we finally purchased our brand new 2005 model Starcraft 19CK Hybrid Camper from PECO Campers, located in Tucker, GA. PECO gave us a great deal and excellent customer service. Beth Ann and I highly recommend them.
Our Starcraft 19CK camper was a joy to use. As we used our camper, we made some very simple improvements to make our camping experience more enjoyable.
Starcraft 19CK Camper Modifications and Improvements
On March 9, 2006, we purchased a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado, with a 5.3L V-8 engine giving us two vehicles which can tow our camper.
On March 15, 2008, we took our Starcraft 19CK to PECO for annual maintenance. When we returned 2 weeks later to pick up our camper we found a more spacious Starcraft 24QB on the PECO sales lot, and fell in love with it. It was perfect for our growing camping needs. It was late in the day and the camper could not be prepped. We came back April 5 to close the deal and have the towing package upgraded on our vehicle. We left PECO with our brand new camper.
With the camper attached to one of our vehicles, we are off on a fun camping adventure....
