Welcome to the forums! There are advantages and disadvantages to owning a "classic" RV. I hope that you are mechanically inclined. Come back to the forum with specific questions as issues arise. Start a list of the brand, model and serial number of everything on and in your coach. You can find a lot of manuals that will make things a lot easier.

Thanks Miles! I tend to be mechanically inclined, I've owned several Volvo sedans from the mid 80's - early 90's and always did my own repairs. Have never touched a vehicle like this one before, but I'm looking forward to getting familiar and forming a bond with it. I am a bit curious as to how "classic" a 1985 RV is considered, to the RV community. Is this old enough to be turned down from extended stay parks? Would you say RVs are designed to be reliable? A 1985 house is somewhat new, a 1985 car is somewhat old, does an RV fall in the middle?
Thanks again :B
