Well folks after 15 years I hit the wall. Total burnout. I sold the RV on Craigslist in 3 days. Well I almost gave it away. Nobody has any money and the banks will not loan any money on a 1995 RV.
After cleaning and waxing the ole gal for 15 years my knees gave out and the heart to get out and climb up and down the RV to keep it looking good just got up and went.
Looking back on the experience I would do it all over again. It was great. It's just time to move on.
Marilyn and I wish you all the best as you folks are the best.

Location: Don't Mess With Texas! | We don't give a hang about your RV, just you keep on smelling that diesel smoke (even if it's only in your mind) and keep on posting.
You've got a lot to contribute, and I would still like to see your contributions at my forum, DL. (Just don't get mad at ME!   |

Location: El Campo, TX | DL just because you doh't have a TT or 5th wheel or MH doesn't mean you can't be an RVer. That Dodge got lots of recreation left in it. And there are plenty of places left to go and see. I am an RVer since birth I just didn't know it. I don't think I could live thinking that I would never be out on the road at least on the weekends and the occasional jaunt to LA. I definitely don't think it is the MH that makes me an RVer. Whatever I am in is an RV because I am on a recreational trip.  You will just have to adjust your sleeping accomodations that's all.  |

Location: Richmond,Texas | Never thought I would hear those words from DL. But all those years of criss crossing the country must really hold some memorys. And I'm sure some aches and pains too. We had the pleasure of meeting Marilyn and DL. And hope we get to bump into them again. They have an open invitation to our home anytime. But DL, do hang around the forum. You sure do add a bit of spice. |
