I'm new here, and curious.
How many of us in Class C own Dodge B300 incomplete
cab/chassis based RV's? I would like to ask, and offer,
help, idea swapping and comparing notes on our particular
RV's which are based on the Dodge B300 van chassis.
Yeah, I know. These are low tech, podgy old RV's that
would be considered "entry level" for folks like me,
but I have a deep and abiding respect for the quality
of these old "monsters of the open road". And anyone
wanting to pick brains, joke about, share notes or just
brag about our old A- Dodge-io's are certainly welcome
to PM or email me. Between all of us we can form a real
good support group, and help each other with problems
we know we'll encounter with an older vehicle.
Sure. I'd love a new RV. But I'd rather have an older
one already paid for, and a lotta great memories. Call
me frugal, an old hippie, or whatever you will. I'm proud
of my old land yacht.

P.S. Mine's a '72. Is there an older one out there someone's
motorvating in? Maybe even a Travco? W/K
Here in this moment I find myself both humbled and very proud.
I guess you could call me bipolar hee hee... I went back to Day 1...

We are many- the dust of our rigs hides the sun. We are mighty upon
the earth.

I can't say much for me, but all of you have done outstandingly in helping each other. I never cease to be amazed. We're not just Class
C B-300 Dodge base anymore- We are diverse- from Class A's and C's
of the early '70's to Sprint class, and there are even other makes in
our ranks. We have become inclusive to those who seek to maintain an older vehicle versus invest in new.

Whatever our reasons are for keeping our time-tested craft and
perpetuating the memories, we have found and founded a community
of like-minded souls here. I hope and pray that we continue as the
motley crew that we are, watching out for each other not only in
this place, but wherever Life itself may see fit to place us.
I'm very proud of my association with all of you. There is a dear
sense of kindred which is not known in this world as much as it used to be. To whomever we encounter in our travels, trials and travails
may we be that person we hope to meet again some day, if for nothing
more than to say "Thank you" to. The world has need of the Good Samaritan, more so now than ever, and the simple heartfelt gratitude of the one leper of the ten, who returned to give thanks. There is always more to "Good Sam" than a sticker on the rear of an RV. It is
a privilege to demonstrate, and a measure of grace when demonstrated.
It makes us who we are.

God willing and watching over us all, may we continue this association
and sharing, this community not only here but out in this world. We are
a noble people whose happy honor it is to show our world some of the
most perfect views of true contentment, camraderie and fellowship. The
Proverbs offers a practical view of human development: "Iron sharpens
iron; so does a man sharpen the countenance of his friend." When we
clash with each other as we inevitably will, let us be like children-
fighting one minute, playing the next. Let us "agree to disagree" and
try to see what we can before the painfully clear view called "hindsight" claims the field of view and it's too late... Life is much
too short- Drive Friendly.
