Been a while since the last post on this thread!
After looking all summer, I bought a 20' 1978 Dodge Brougham with 2bbl 360. Paid cash - It's Paid For! :) At least two previous owner's did a fair bit of work to it, so it's in fairly good shape - interior is nice and it's dry. There's a small soft spot under the front overhead window - seeing some of the pictures in here makes me a little nervous about what rot lurks there, but it doesn't seem to be an immediate crisis at least. This is my first RV - I've been spending my time looking it over, figuring out the appliances, and finding a mechanic to go over the engine, although this ol' thing is tempting me to turn wrench on an engine for the first time since helping my Dad in the 70's and 80's!
Like many others, Google led me to this thread, and what a thread! After two months, I'm 350 pages in, reached 2009, and have learned a heck of a lot from Griff, Leanne, and Trish! I see Griff is still around, at least! Thank you guys for this, thanks to Mark for starting it so long ago!
