Ethel

Won (Ethel), in a CoPart auction September 2019.
It was a steal. At first. Then after many hours of rebuilding the flooring, seals, 1 window, locks, brakes, batteries, LP tanks, stereo, spare tire & rack, —— well ya get the idea. Labor of love, cause I’ll never get out what went in. So all ready to finally go RVing. Then the world closed. But more time to fine tune Ethel. She’s ready now.

2009-Forest River-Surveyor 233-T-23

Exterior: New graphics. Bike rack receiver. Spare tire hanger upgrade. Leveling jacks, wireless brake control.
Added LP tank to make a double.

Interior: Moved TV and rerouted all cables. New stereo for DVD playing, TV sound plays through that now, and it reads memory card pics to TV too.
Added a little cabinet storage space.

Customizations: Stereo system, storage cabinet added.
Voltage display added

Renovations and Repairs: Rebuilt all flooring system. Fixed fridge, lighting to LEDs, new toilet, TV, water heater, cleaned all tanks, repaired several water line leaks, steps, awning mounting, battery support rack, wireless electric brake system added.

Tow Vehicle: 2008 Honda Ridgeline 4WD . Using a WDH and sway bar. She pulls straight & level. Can’t say, “I don’t even feel it back there.” Because you do. Trucks weighs in at 4,600 and Ethel the RV is approximately 4,400.

Favorite Camping Destinations: Utah national parks would be my dream camping. But that’s 2000 miles away. Vacationed there twice, but not camped yet. Maybe after retirement we’ll do more long trips. We like the NC state parks, and our NC beaches, and mountains. Also enjoyed Stone Mt. Park in Georgia. Might try Disney World too.
