Hello PghBob : You might have been my neighbor at one time. I grew up in PGH, Lawrenceville, 44th street, across from Holy Family School and Church thru the 50s=60S. Until age 14, when the family moved south.
I thank you for your advice. I already bought a class c RV back in July, thought 6 months of research would be plenty. Should have look into this forum a lot sooner. Living on the edge is my way, I do not conform to what society thinks is right. Now that I'm old, different story.
I have in my signature area a link to a website I have been working on to document this adventure. There is a video page with a walk around of the RV I bought and a vid of the reasoning of my purchase. Some pix too. I like looking like a hillbilly once in while. But, I am stuck with my purchase and will make the best of it. I have to put a "share folder" of pix I took of repairs and rebuilding areas. ( Disclaimer : I am not trying to promote my website. ) Just to keep it documented.
