The old girl is gone...

Well the old girl is gone.it 2003 Itasca sunrise 32v. Home for 11yrs full timing. 127,777 miles on it(ford v10/4speed). The doghouse cover was never removed. She ran great all the time @ about 7.5 to 8.0 mpg with toad.
The belt and hoses never changed, two Goodyear tire blowouts with no damage to rig (lucky).New brakes @ 105k .Two house water pumps.One HWH pump motor. Two slidout toppers. Two foggy windows replaced. All maintenance was done by Ford on the severe service schedule I did all the LOF myself (40 plus LOF) Saved a lot of money that way Rv'ers are always talking about floor plans, well we like this F/P very much and wanted the same plan in a newer rig. Found one w/same F/P with only 9.2k miles on a 2007 Itasca Sunrise. Like new, the stove and Micro were never used and covered when stored Paint is like new.... Life is Good...
  • Never removed the doghouse cover...you never had to change spark plugs?

    Pretty good.
  • With all the problems posted on these forums it is great to hear the good stories also. I hope you have similar success with your new home.

    Happy trails
  • Typical guy.... Use up the old one and trade her in for a younger model.... :W :B
  • The old girl may be gone but, now you have a new younger girl. :C

    Enjoy.
