83 El Dorado

[panman79]

Hey all. I'm very new to motorhome living but very excited to be jumping into it. I just picked up an 83 el dorado for what it would cost me to rent a room for 3 months. It needs a little work but I think I can handle it. 1st onthe list is resealing the roof. Im gonna try and get to that this weekend. I'll post some pics when I get home.

Sorry, took me a while to get back. I think it's a class C. Im very new to this and don't know the difference between class A and C. Gotta finish sealing up a leak on the back of the roof today.

That's a class 'C' you've got there, and about a 26 footer. (a class 'A' is more like a big rolling breadbox...like a traditional Winnebago)

Do you have a 350 or a 454?? (I've got a 350 in my Mini-Winni)

Do you have kids?? Class C's are great for familys with kids. Mine loved the overhead bunk.

Where are you and whad do ya do?? Hobbies? Work?

Welcome to a great forum!!

Its got a 6 liter diesel.
My friend's kids love the top bunk also.
I'm currently in Austin, Tx. I'm installing cable but looking for a more stable tech support position.
I want to start a business so I'm analyzing the local supply and demand.
