    Hi M3W2 -  I don't know enough to comment other than to refer you to this listing (sold) of a similar unit that someone was looking at on here recently.  This was a 1988 Ford in Ohio asking $6K - "23,000 original  miles fridge ,air-conditioner ,stove and heat all run as should.

    Thoughts on Holiday Rambler

    I have a 2007 Holiday Rambler 29ft Travel Trailer and because of that, I have seen and talked to many people over the past 10 years with older Holiday Rambler Motorhomes, 5th wheels and travel trailers on the road.  All have been in really great condition with minimal problems, as they were...

    Class Bs - Can the layout be changed?

    Hi Sierranighttide, here's my two cents; I travel solo in a Class B and have a 2 twin bed layout which allows me to create a good number of bed size and layout options.  I can have a huge King, a Queen or a Full bed, I can sleep across the rear (east-west) or length-wise.  So far as a full...

    Getting kicked out of my place in 3 days. Back to the van I go.

    That really sucks and I am sorry to hear of your pain.  But, as you shared, the good news is you can now take back care of yourself and your future. How many times have you seen people trying to use, manipulate or change their partner or family member to meet their own needs instead of loving...

    Specifically: how many clothing items?

    I have a similar list to MrNoodly's for full-timing in all kinds of weather - except mine includes ladies items - esp. 2 or 3 super comfy dresses, with bike/hike shorts underneath. What I've found consistently over the last two years is while I have at least two weeks of clothing to wear, I...

    My 2001 pleasureway dream build

    Beautiful van that looks great - congrats!  I personally like some of the matte finish paint jobs you see here and there.  I think an olive drab matte would look awesome!

    What did you forget to bring to the last RTR?

    Ckelly, Thanks! I did hear that as well, and am thrilled Bob is doing that but not sure if it will be enough for so many people, so am workin' on a back- up plan.  After posting, I thought what about a small trash can with lid or if any of those collapsible bins have lids?  I think I have seen...

    What did you forget to bring to the last RTR?

    A REALLY lightweight chair to carry easily on the walk over to the main area for seminars and to evening campfires. A red flashlight so as not to blind people while walking around at night. Sunscreen Add a hide-a-key on your vehicle and bring a car battery jump-starter if you have one.  There...

    Portable power station - what are you using?

    Today I drove an hour an a half while charging the Aeiusny via dash 12v and it went from 0 o 93% charge.  I know the manual says much longer, but I have been surprised how quickly it charges both via 12v and AC.  Seems to me it hasn't taken longer than 2 hours.  I have probably charged it about...
