Slightly used, but still running

I met this guy last weekend. Hey, it's still running, so who could ask for anything more?

  • The motorhome may be old and look rough, but the campsite appears to be neat and orderly. As long as there isn't a bunch of trash being left around and the owners are following the campground rules, I could care less.

    I've sometimes camped next to people in nearly new rigs that I'm sure I'd have rather had the guy with the camper above next to me.
  • A dozen or so rattle cans of paint would make a world of difference...
  • That's how I feel when I've run half way across the country through several rainstorms and pull into a park where the rig next to me has just been washed and waxed.



    I'd love to park next to that....make mine look like it was new.
  • It's one thing to not be able to afford something newer or nicer but it takes only a little effort to own something clean.

    My first thought as well.

    Good point, I never thought of it as a Rat Rod. That old Travco is an excellent candidate for the Zep/Red Max Pro process.
    But then it would lose it's status as a RR. :)
  • a guy has to do what a guy has to do. some people like old things. it has been said on here many times, never buy new. buy something that all the systems are tested
