What fun! Happy Trails - it sounds well planned on your part.

I paint. In fact, I've started painting the furniture.

I wondered if your Unk wasn't down by Delta form your description. We live some ways north of Fairbanks.

We live completely off-grid in Alaska. In winter you can generally count on the power outage a couple of times - effecting many people. We find out about the outages when we go to town, which is rather nice. It has no effect on us at home. A lot of people - even up here will set up expensive...

You will need to establish residency in Alaska before you can register it here. And they will demand substantial proof of said residency. ie: electric bill in your name, lease agreement or home purchase, drivers license....

Have to ask the insurance company what the significance is. I only know that when new, it helped develop rates for the model. I am sure it has to do with rating and potential loss against age.

I found it, finally. The company name is Foretravel. (Foretravel Travco L'Esprit 22', msrp $25,500.00 in 1978) :-) All that to get insurance on it.

That's a great site! The page of available floor plans is wonderful. Unfortunately, it did not give me any other associated company name - I was afraid it would not. Not sure there is one, so now I am down to trying to find out the MSRP for the 22' le Spirit in 1978. I may end up having to...

See? And here we thought we are all kinds of special in the "too much stuff" department. :-) So.... The house is on the market, and as soon as it sells, we get to hit the road. Finally. Seeing all of you do battle with the same Stuff demons that we do is so re-assuring. Having gotten down to the...

None of that - Just the name of the company that made that motorhome

made the Dodge Travco le Spirit motorhomes in the 70's? Or, who might Travco sold out to at some point? We need to find that parent or Over company for the Travco units. I know Winnebago has some other company names under theirs now, as does Fleetwood. Any help will be much appreciated.

I had to replace the mattress in our cab-over. I just bought a good quality queen gelfoam bed mattress, removed the stitching along one side and folded it back. Using a long, sharp fillet knife I cut the overage from that side and stitched the covering back together again. Worked a treat, and we...

I knew several women who drive OTR. Not cross country, usually within a tri-state area. Those that I know up here in Alaska drive the Haul Road. The 2 women I know who currently drive it are as busy as they want to be, and are grossing about $350,000.00 annually. But that's the Haul Rd to...

You do tend to see an awful lot of extremes and unusuals if you are here for a bit. And the skeeters are big, but the first wave are also slow and stoopid - easily smacked. The midsummer wave are the kamikazee's. A bit smaller and a whole lot faster. Then, blessedly, we are back into winter...

I like it!!!

We have used all of the poll options, used solar shower long term - even in cold weather, by heating up the water over fire. Now we use a pressure shower pressurized by an rv pump - battery operated and heated by an rv on demand water heater - using a 20lb lp canister. Showers are always brief...

Nice!

Are you coming up to work at the Santa House in NP? That is almost the only game in town. :D

Hello all, and thank you for the welcome! rvwandering, I will check out the tips. Thank you. The Interior is experiencing some marvelously sunny, warm weather just now that makes me want to take a road trip. Ah, well - it won't be long now.

Hello all! Joining in from Alaska. What a wonderful site; a lot of nice folks, and loads of useful info! Thank you in advance. :shy: At the mo, we are still somewhat snowbound, yet nothing like last year. It won't be long now that we can get to the truck and campers to release them and us from...
