MM,
I did it the first day and it was awesome for one minute. I'll do it again at 9:26 in the WSW sky.

Rockin.

Did you get some pics of the Swiss Misses?

Normally I do not like to post my MoHo stuff in the Excel thread but it is worth noting here. A couple staying at our campground approached us stating they were the original owners of our Beaver. We chatted with them and he provided some very good history. They are both from Argentina and speak with a thick German accent. Nice people. How good is that?.

Moto, how neat ! It really is a small world. I just have that man thing about me and it would be hard for me to meet the previous owner of the Beaver.

HaHaHa, I should have known discussing my Beaver here would get no mercy.
He had some of the same issues we have from new and took some actions to correct them. We had one overheating episode and he confirmed the same problem and told us what he did. That was the major issue we discussed. He also told me he took the Bose Wave Radio, so that is why it is not here. He also has the external screens for the front window and will send them to us and told me how and where he had the bra made for it. He had the exterior clear coated when new and to this day it looks sharp. I filled him in on the history after he sold it and where we bought it. The incredible part is that we are staying in a quiet, out of the way campground, and they were here. He asked about 5th wheels and I sent him to RV Sales in Moriarty for an Excel with my recommendations. The encounter was helpful. They currently own a Fleetwood MoHo with mixed feelings about it. They put the majority of miles on this rig with the second owner barely using it. It sat for a couple years till we purchased it at RV Sales. We have some newer issues but the bulk of things are related to the build. Hope this is not TMI.
Phil

The Good Old days

Our attitudes have stayed the same for over seventy years! The question is would you have Full Timed then?

Hey Rockin,

I was over at RV Sales today. I saw Rosie, Tim is fishing and helping out a friend. I heard you found Joy at the reunion. Would you like to comment on this. I did see the Winslow. Very nice rig.

Tim, Rosie and I went over to visit some Colorado/NM friends and there was Joy. Introduction were made and Joy listened carefully to SKIA's BS. Then I started teasin' her a bit and did that girl come alive. I was stunned and darn near speechless with some of her comeback. Man, I had met my match!!! She quickly became my Smith Center girlfriend!!! We did happy hours and lunch together. What a hoot! That's it!!! Unless Tim and Rosie remember more.....
