Welcome to this LL forum!  We came from far west TX many years ago and wondering how your weather in TX is still not too good. What's the weather doing at this writing?  

We're getting warm here in Central Florida and grumbling by residents abound that this will be one hot summer.  It doesn't help, though.  

Welcome, FjRob!

Thanks and the weather here has been kinda weird lately.  Its been mostly cloudy with the occasional thunderstorm for the past two weeks and in the middle of the week there is usually a day that's sunny.  I've been wanting to go camping but every weekend has been rainy.  Just looked at the forecast earlier and it said it was supposed to be sunny next weekend but then when i jut looked at it again its supposed to be thunderstorms.  I just cant catch a break and to go camping.

Welcome to the forum--and to Quicksilvers! We have a QS 6 and love it. I'm sure you'll really enjoy your 8.

Thanks everybody and I cant wait till the weather gets better to go camping in it.  If the weather holds I might be able to try it out this weekend.

Go regardless. Camping in the rain is better than not at all.  I enjoy the sound of rain on the camper top. You hear every drop. I have learned also putting the tent up wet is not that big of deal. Just  make sure to let it dry when you get home.
