How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?

[whiteknight001]

I'm new here, and curious.

How many of us in Class C own Dodge B300 incomplete
cab/chassis based RV's? I know two others- Steve aka
Ripsaw, with a 1977 Brougham, and Leroy aka 1978_Dodge
_Delta who owns a 440V8 powered sharp looking 1978
Delta RV. 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

Seriously, I'm an old-school, hard-core senior non-commissioned officer ... drink like a damn fish but sober up and fly right before duty time.

Hush, woman ... it's the first of December and there's four bottles left from November's case ... scratch that, three bottles ... oops, one and 1/5 bottles felt ... drats, letf ... dang, lfet ... I give up. It's 5:58 Alaska time ...

Over that stuff for your knee?


The real question is, how many of them will be left by midnight? :B

As of midnight, I think there were two bottles left. Battles regarding knee issues were won early this fall ... making progress on other service-connected disabilities, as well as related issues.

Now down to one bottle left from November's allotment ... starting to look at October's leftovers ...

Lowered the surrounding property values, did ya'?

ROTFLMAO!

ROTFLMAO^2

For those not versed in computese ... ^2 means squared

Some of us with rolling "trailer park" stuff just live to ruin regular people's lives -- right. Trish??

With clipboard in hand, I got my 1976 Dodge winterized at a RV dealership a couple of weeks ago. I followed each step and I will be able to do it myself each year now.

Side note: I kind of grinned to myself when my $1800 motorhome was parked next to a $100,000 motorhome in the service center. :C

Hola.
I escaped, so don't anyone send ransom money.

Eric, I sent you something, but can't remember what.....

This time last year, the Travco had been tarped for 2+ weeks.
This year is a whole different story with a whole new interior and --drum roll-- I GOT WHEELS!

Pretty wheels with nice new Michelins on them.

If anyone is insulating their Cs, DO NOT use Lowe's Safe-Touch.
You can touch it just fine, but the stuff is too thick for walls and when you pull it apart, it's like a million dandelions. Little blue dandelions...


ps: Leeann has the pictures.
