So long as the brakes and steering and basic structural integrity are sufficient that other drivers aren't being endangered, what's the harm?

You do have to admit that nobody seems to be in a state of panic.

Nah no problems no panic..... just filling up with oil and checking the gas.

^^^^ Great post!!!
As far as the hood being up. I saw a brand new diesel pickup in a Walmart the other day with the hood up. He was adding a quart of oil. :p

As far as this MH goes; I would love to have this rig! I would set up camp right next to some of you just to pi$$ you off. :B

I love this quote from the richest guy in the world at the time who used to drive around in what some of you would think a POS Ford pickup.

“I just don’t believe a big showy lifestyle is appropriate. Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dogs around in, a Rolls Royce?”

LMAO, gotta to love Sam!!!

It made me sad. Somehow I just felt sorry for the guy.

None of us know his story.

Such a true statement!

About 3 years ago I bought a 24' 1987 Yukon Wilderness for $300.00. It was to be set up permanently at a hunting camp. The exterior was faded and badly hail damaged on the front and one side, but the interior was in great shape. While towing it out to its final resting place, I stopped at Wal Mart to get a few things. There was a large motor home and a 5th wheel parked nearby. The looks of disgust I got from those folks was classic. I just smiled and waved which was not returned. Nope, we don't know his story.

Don't think THAT boy is "RV'ing". More like living in it.

That tarp wouldn't stay on driving it 1 mile down the road doing 10mph. But it sure would make for great meth lab.:B

...After all, a bad day camping is always better than a good day at work!

I'm thinking maybe not, but I bet his blog would disagree with me. On the front of the RV he painted "Never Land" probably the name of that blog.

It looks like they are having some problem with it. The hood is up.

Was that picture taken in Alaska? Seen a few rigs up there that was in the same boat as this guy.
