Add me too! Actualy, this is my first post on RV.net. I have a 1979 Skyline Lindy 24' that is built on a 1978 Dodge Sportsman chasis w/ the 360 V8, 727 TorqueFlite, and Dana rear end. I'm 23 and "officialy" bought it last year. My parents were the second owners in 1986. It has lived in shelter (except on dry, summer, weekend use) in a barn built just for it on my grandparent's property. It still lives there today. It is in EXCELLENT condition. Early on it developed the usual manifold leak. It went long enough that it torched the exhaust side of the heads. I took it down to the block last summer (and lost use of it for almost 4 months) and rebuilt the entire top end myself. I put on new manifolds, metallic racing quality gaskets where applicable, and a completely new exhaust. I also re-wallpapered the kitchen, put up new modern window blinds, new cushions throughout, and a custom stereo and entertainment system. It has only 72,000 miles, and runs EXCELLENT now. I love it, but do plan to upgrade to about a 28'C eventualy.
Being 23, I use it for camping, just as I have all of my life, but I have a lot of friends (The Crew) that like to have it at outdoor parties at their houses, because it makes a great "rolling tavern" with the awning, fridge, and all. Glad to see there is this much following out there!
Some pics of it at a party 2 years ago. (I'm in white)
