thanks for the input..
Yeah, I pretty much decided I am going to just buy a new one when money allows, If this new gig works out, I can just pay cash for one the coming winter.
I am not going to be home enough over the next 3 months, maybe 8+ months to deal with working on one anyway. I know what is going to happen, I will get it torn down, and find out that the material and labor involved is more then the dang thing is worth and scrap it.
I already did this with a trailer camper a few weeks ago, I had nothing in it though.
I think if I buy a used one, its going to be something cool like the Avaion, Barths or any of the other really cool aluminum truck campers...
