I do love it. It gets 20 MPGs sometimes, and is very reliable.
I have already rebuilt everything by hand, from the engine, transmission, to the rear differential. I spent thousands doing that.
Personally I do not mind too much if the aluminum sheeting on the outside is kind of messed up, people won't look twice at the motor home, but I just can't have water getting in.
It was stored by the ocean all of it's life so the rotting is pretty bad. I can't go in there without erupting into a sneezing and coughing fit the mold is so bad in the walls.
The fiberglass is a great idea, but at $23 a lineal foot I am looking at 55 or so, times two or more, plus the roof. I am looking at upwards of $2,000 just for the skin.
And RV wrecker is a great suggestion. I wonder what they charge for siding? I talked to a bone yard who had a similar Toyota Dolphin and they said the price for the aluminum siding would be huge. (Scrap value)
Does anyone know how much weight approximately is on a 19' long RV, if it's sided with aluminum?
