Hello Everyone...
I recently traded an old car for a 1975 Sportsman Brougham. It is a decent old rig with lots of little issues to keep me busy. I have read through the entire thread on the old Dodge based RV's, and have gleaned some great information in the course of the discussions.
I am sure I will be jumping in with questions from time to time, but overall just really enjoy reading about these great old rigs and the people who own them.
Personally, I think they have so much more character than the cookie cutter boxes you see out rolling around on the highway these days. Add to that the lack of a monthly payment, and any elbow grease or $$$ (within reason) makes them a real value.
In bringing this rig back to life, I am starting on the obvious stuff, belts, hoses, fluids and of course tires. I am comfortable with all of that and the house is in remarkably good shape overall. I found some old water damage in the cab over area, but have a friend who has repaired several in the past and will be helping me with that aspect. If all goes well, I should be taking her out on the maiden voyage in early July.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and discussing these great old rigs.
Patrick
