What should I do ??? Classic camping

[BearG]

Friends as I have posted my camper has a roof leak, and now we found that a u-bolt broke and messed up purge and a tire.  So my delima is what should I do.
1) Hillbilly the spring and roof to make the Classic. ( maybe unsafe)
2) hillbilly the roof and spring and Trade it in. (kinda what I'm leaning towards)
3) Put $500.00 or more in repairs for something we are looking to upgrade in less that 12 months anyway.
4) Park It and set up awning and hamock like I use to.

Please put yourself in my shoes and tell me what you would do.

Bear just my thoughts I'd go on and bite the bullet fix the thing and use it a year or two and get the good out of my dough and then trade it. Ron

I  look at  all  the new tents  and  gas prices,,,dang,, a roof top rack for gear and cots, team work on set up money in my play fund,, and then I ask  myself   "am I trying to get away from it all,,,or take it all with me??"  I'd travel light!  and travel more!  worst thing  for  my  camping was I bought a Pop-up! I went from six or eight trips  to maybe one!  I'm just saying. JeffW

First tear your clothes, put sack cloth on,  sit and have a chicken fit in a heap of ashes, have a good cry and then go watch "Sleepless in Seattle."

After doing the above, no matter what you do will be a lot better 

Upgrade...

I do thank you for the offer, but not necessarily if we go that rout I'll just not have much spending money.  but I don,t need much anyway.

Wouldn't be the first time that happened. 
  Bear, sometimes things just ain't worth fixin'. Bight the bullet and get a new(or at least another) camper. You(and your wife) will be happier in the long run.

I was reading this on my phone. When I read what Eddie wrote I laughed out loud so hard it startled my wife. She was sitting next to me. It was a funny moment

I needed a good laugh. Thanks Eddie
