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

Trish, what blood type are you? I'm O+ if that's of any help. If you are, too, I'll get tested at my local hospital.

Woman, you rock.
O+ here, too.

My hospital (of choice, which is a great story about being lifeflighted during a blizzard ... this******doesn't happen to normal people) is the OSU Wexner Center in Columbus. Dr Devine is in charge of the bone marrow list.

Catherine Walsh is my look-doc. We have a deal: she has to get me through this more or less intact then I have to teach her to ride a motorcycle. You don't get cool doctors in regular hospitals.

Thanks, Leeann.

K, got the info. I'll check with my local hosp and see if they do the testing or if I have to go to UMD or Hopkins.

Thanks, Ben.
You want to do something? Buy a toy. I have too many. 😉

That old saying "he who dies with the most toys wins" is BS. Whoever dies with the most toys gets sold up for pennies on the dollar at auction and I want my offspring to have a couple of dollars.
Besides, they'd never figure out what goes with which or what it's worth. Oi.

Seriously, I intend to drive to the Arctic Circle.
Marge came in last night and asked me what I was doing, then said "Can I go?" Sure, she can. She can drive part of the way, too. 😉

Hola. Yes, I went missing for a while but hey. Leukemia entitles you to bug out for a bit.

On that topic, I have one more round of 5-day chemo and no bone marrow donor in sight. So I'll probably sell up. All my toys.

Fella's coming to look at the Merc and another's interested in the S-10. This leaves my excellent Avon inflatable boat (with 2 outboards and a slew of original stuff in as-new condition) and the Travco.

Takers?
Because this forum has been my lifeline so many times, the Travco is sorta-kinda FS to any Dodge C members first.

I may not. But I have this yen to drive to Alaska while i can and that means a truck & pickup camper. The Dempster would destroy the Travco.

I like your flares better then the ones I have, those fog lights set it off. Did your window awning come on the camper?
I have one to install on mine but a little too scared to poke holes in the side of may camper for fear of it ripping the siding off.

Mine is only a 21 foot bumper to bumper

I purchase the flairs a couple years ago from a company in Canada. I wish I could find a hood like yours that would look good.
