Stomp down those blackberries and hook a chain to it and pull it out. Then to make you feel better about your project immediately get out your power washer and clean as much of it as you can, including the outside of the camper. You will be amazed how good it looks! :thup:

Had to put the Chevy in 4 low to drag her out. Hooked the jumper cables to it after cleaning the epic rat nest off the intake manifold. Doesn't seem to be getting fuel. Starts if you pour it down the carb, but can't pull it from either tank.
