Good morning!!!!

very tired little motorhome, but....
zero leaks underneath, just a little oil seepage at top of one valve cover, but minor. Suspension was dry and almost free of rust.
has air bag suspension which was unexpected, probably why it wallows around
drove ok, noisy, not as much power as old one, had to downshift to keep 65 going up a good hill.
Truck a/c inop, radio would not turn on, shower vent inop, etc etc. Lot of little stuff, chips in windshield, evidence of prior water stains inside.
So it would need a long stay at dealership before coming home.
At least it had Michelin Agilis Crossclimate tires on it, front ones cupped, rear ok. Best tires out there for this type rv, that was a plus.

wrecked rear bumper, but new one in box in bathroom, but not painted grey. At least it's there.

just not sure if I want to spend more on something nicer. Next similar rv in stock double the cost of this.
If powertrain ok, most of rest is not terrible to fix. Slide went in and out at a fast speed.
will plunk myself down in hot tub this afternoon and ponder.

Good luck, David. All the best going forward.

LS, hope you feel better.

RNG, that's quite a change for you.

Drew, hope pondering goes well.

Calling it quits for today and out to the back forty I go.

Thieves should be shot. Our area has a band of thieves going around in groups. Women dressed in robes, head coverings, breaking or forcing way into homes, even with people home, going multiple direction, filling deep pockets with anything valuable, while this going on men are breaking into out buildings stealing tools, etc. sometimes returning for larger things. Multiple vehicles involved. Many pictures of them and even license plate numbers, probably stolen vehicles. They have hit a pretty wide area in MD and PA, targeting mostly farm houses off the road a ways.

Shot and a bounty paid.

How about this Drew, I do not believe it’s too far from you
You generally don't see a Jersey outside of Jersey, or the Chesapeake. Early solid fiberglass hull built like Hatteras built them, too heavy actually and made boat slow but
that hull sure held up. This one was completely gone through, new engines and trans, nice boat. Too bad I don't fish...
besides, I'm not climbing tall metal ladders any more. All those older sportfish make you climb a ways.
Classic/classy boat though, NJ always had good boat builders.

But they weren't all overbuilt, Ocean Yachts had some issues when the first high power MAN diesels were dropped in, more power than the boat ever had before with 8-92's, and
for a while were called "flexible flyers". You could see the hull moving around underneath, flexing like they do on big container ships. That alarmed a few folks and Ocean then built
up their hulls. I learned a lot of interesting info as a Ft Lauderdale yacht broker for three years. And I sold a guy's 53 Ocean sport fish that hit 34 knots on the pins with 820 Mans.
Getting 30+ tons of boat up to that speed takes some serious horsepower. But hey, when diesel was .79 a gallon, like when I bought my big boat, who cared?
As in so many other places, lots more electric boats now, driven by price of fuel that keeps many boaters at the docks.

Called dad to tell him someone he knew passed away. And told him I saw the wave. He said he was going to pull a tree out. I Asked him where, he said down in the field next to the woods. I said that narrowed it down to 200 acres.

Had my visitor again
