What happened to Handbasket

There are several that are no longer posting. I also miss their words of wisdom or their humor even though I don't know them personally. Sad....

I have wondered about him myself. I sent him a PM.

There is a member who's screen name I think is Tiger4x4. He posts in the Truck Campers section often. Should be able to find him there.

I've wondered about Handbasket also. His Tiger and mine are nearly twins and I have gotten good answers to various Tiger issues from him.

Paddykernahan, you are welcome to PM me if you have Tiger questions.

Thanks Tiger4x4,

My sister-in-law lives about 2.5 hours from the factory.
I told the wife unit the next time we visit we are going to Tiger RV.
I have convinced myself that I want a Tiger rather than any other Class B.

I have to see one first though I feel I am already sold.

We are planning on driving to the Pacific Northwest this fall and I found a tiger to rent I think in Colorado but it is for $350/day.

Guess I will stick to the pop-up for now.

Yes Handbasket had a lot of good information.
Most of the time I would come to this site and do a search on handbasket and read all of his recent posts.
Hope he is OK.

It has been 3 years since he posted. I heard that he was having some health issues. I miss his posts. I loved the little comments that he always ended his posts with...

The Tiger is a Class C and is built on a pickup truck chassis; you can go from coach into cab without going outside. Class B's are built inside a van body.

I miss handbasket. Jim was a great source of information and very well informed. He really helped me out over many years.

I no longer have a Class B so, like many former owners, don't feel very welcome on this forum. I am probably not the only one. I occasionally post, but mostly stay on other forums. I have had four Bs and three Cs over the years, do all the RV maintenance and repair stuff myself on all my rigs. I would like to think all those years of B experience could help someone, but there are some real sticklers on this forum.

I got tired of hearing anyone casually asking a question that did not have a true Class B being treated like a commie or something. WOW. Some of these old goats (and I am one) have a kindness problem.

Read the posts on this B forum in the thread titled "House batteries not charging -- Road Trek" immediately below this thread and you will see what I mean.

I have been wanting to say this for a long time and I am sure some posters will be offended. Some posters are pretty offensive to anyone with any manners.

Only speaking for myself, but I'm happy to hear from anyone with an interest in or knowledge of Class B's. More is better, IMHO.

Yes I know the Tiger is a class C.
Notice I didn't say it was a class B.
I guess I should have posted (I have convinced myself that I want a class C Tiger rather than any other Class B).:-)
