Hi gang, new member from the St Louis area.  Partner and I bought a QS 10 in 2009, sold it to our sister a few years ago.  Purchased a Roo, but after a couple of years, things started to go downhill fast so we sold it off. Considered getting back to basics with a QS XLP, but now have settled on a Camplite 21rbs.  Anxious for it to arrive at the dealer!

Welcome!  Do you have an ETA on the camper?

Thanks, Merlin.  We are hoping/hearing it will be less than 2 weeks.

Congrats! The 21rbs should be a nice upgrade from the Roo.

Welcome. I used to live in the STL area. I've never camped around there, though. I'd love to hear about your favorite MO favorite campgrounds.

I spend camping time in WI now but have family in MO still.

Oh tough question...Missouri is filled with so very many beautiful places!  Still exploring, but my favorites (mostly in the STL, Southeastern and South-central parts) have to be Hawn State Park, Johnson Shut Ins and Onandoga Cave.  Those are all State Parks, but the beauty of MO is that there is also vast areas that are federal forestry and scenic river ways.  I highly recommend getting down to the Eminence area to check out the Jacks Fork River area.  So amazingly beautiful...camping, hiking, and canoeing!

Thanks. I've canoed on the Current (I think that's the name) River a bunch of times, but I'll have to consider some camping trips in MO.
