well, I'm trying

My road to R.V. independence has been terrible. Some of you might remember I bought a class C Monaco. Had terrible problems and gave it away when the tranny gave out. I was in coos bay Oregon. Hang on.
It gets worse. September end rolled around and I bought a class A
Winnebago Itasca. 24'. Well my luck is just a brick.
I owned it for about 24 hours I parked it on a lot. Dumb idea.
It got hit by a semi. Dammit! So I have to wait for the insurance
To settle up. Then I'll be looking for YET another motorhome.

    I have to ask.....why didn't you pay to have the transmission repaired? Instead of giving one RV away and buying another?





    Money. Sitting in a really bad spot. Oh, Did I mention money?

    If I were you I wouldn"t even consider owning a boat let alone an airplane.
