Well, you can add us now too. I just never liked trailers because it is so nice to have the convenience of the space and amenities right there while you are driving.
We just picked up a beaten up Dodge Fireball - 1977, MB400 360 engine.
Who said they were slow? The previous owner said the vibration goes away at 70 mph, but I found 55 pretty comfortable too.
After close examination of the engine (and much cleaning of the engine), I am amazed that it works at all. Most of the vaccuum lines are disconnected, pluged or connected wrong. The electrical looks like a puzzle that was solved wrong.
There also appears to be some water damage all the way out to the fram on the rear left 1/4 over the sink/stove area.
But the drivetrain is very powerful. I figure no matter the cost of renovating or replacing the living quarters, we have a good deal.
And it is a blast to drive. Sort of like a one car parade....
Take Care,
Eric
