End of the road

[wayward1]

Well we have had a great run in the Lance but changes in our camping have us using the TH much more now. The TC has not been out in two years. Had the F350 in for service and a young mechanic at the shop inquired when was I going to get a new truck, told him I already did (IH 4400) and he asked why I was keeping the old pickup. I had not thought about it as I still use the truck form time to time around the farm and then he asked if I would consider selling it. I spit out a price and he said sold! He did not want the Rickson's so I have to deliver the stock wheels and tires to him when we sign the title and exchange the $ next week. I guess I wont get to drive her again since he will be taking her from the service center. The TC is tucked away in my heated shop but now I have nothing to haul it with so I'm guessing it's time is short along with all the other TC equipment. Have really enjoyed being a part of this forum and will remain a active on RV.Net in the TH forum, I'll still be checking up here for all the interesting trip reports though! Good luck to you all!

I have a 38 ft Endeavor 2002 setting beside my garage, been thinking about selling I don't use it much but if I sale it, I probable wish I hadn't, I have a clear title insurance and taxes and tags is the only expense about 800.00 a year for all three, maybe I will run into a partner to travel with.

Sorry to see you move on to a different chapter but it sounds like you're ready. It reminded me of my thread I started last summer...
The Emotions in a TC. We all have our reasons...best of luck to you!

Yes but new adventures and change are the spice of life;)

Sad days when you have to get rids of things you aren't using any more - I have a recent JEEP story here where we had to let it go because we needed more cash to get by on... My Jeep went to the local community YARD MAN when he drove off with it. The killer part is I see my old Jeep twice a week now when the yard crew comes through our neighbor...

Just like my daddy did when he had to sell his best two work horses from his 80 acre farm in Illinois back in the 50s - We cried like babies...

Life goes on
