  It is really sweet, maybe he's thinking with the camper he can give you guys your privacy as well as get sleep without crying baby all night

  So this baby is my dads first grandchild. Yesterday he told me he plans on driving from Ohio to Florida in a camper and staying in it from my due date until the baby is born. It is so sweet that he's that excited and wants to be here, but ummmmm I live in an apartment ( with a guest room) so I'm not sure where he's planning on parking this thing and why it's necessary. Totally not bashing him, it's really cute! Thought y'all might get a kick out of the proud and well-meaning grandad.

  That is sweet. Maybe there is a camper site within a couple of miles of your place and he might be using that. Otherwise feel free to ask about that part.

  So sweet! Remind him where you live so there is no confusion when he gets there.

  I just love dads they are the best! This is super sweet!!!! I agree with @rshamos‌ just remind him of where you are, or you could always tell a little white lie, say you asked your app complex about the camper and they said "no go". Look into camping sites around you so you can give him options
  
  My dad is taking 2 weeks off of work, one before my due date into the week after. He will be staying with us. Love him dearly and can't wait for him to visit, but like I've said before.... He's an old, crazy, loving, .....sloppy hippie and I know the last thing I'm going to want once baby is born is to clean up after him ........ Good times 8-}

  this reminds me of my dad, bought baby girl a complete camo outfit, booties, onsie, bib, bottle from Bass Pro and was disappointed when I said she wouldn't wear it.  "But she can wear it when I have her" hmm, not sure how I feel about that comment.

  I think its cute he wanted to share what he likes with her. I probably would have put it on her one when he was around and that's it. Even thought it's totally nms sometimes it's easier just to appease the family.

  Awe! So sweet! My dad has been more excited than I expected him to be! And he has been itching to start buying things for the baby He is well meaning too, but the other day, he told me I should start taking walks to get "limber"! LOL! I told him (in a ridiculously childish voice) "stop telling me what to do!" :P

  Glad he's not the only well meaning grandpa-to-be. We live in a nice neighborhood and I can only imagine my neighbors envisioning the cousin from Christmas Vacation when they see a motor home pull up hahahaha
