We finally did it

[A~N~A]

After 22 years of marriage and all four kids gone now, we've finally done what we've dreamed of four years. Bought an RV. Little did we know the kids cost a heck of alot more away from home, so money was tight. But we jumped blind and into the deep end with both feet. I'm referring to the 27' 1978 Dodge Monaco Sportsman we purchased very cheap. Reason being is that it sat for many years and nothing works, although drivetrain is in great shape. We were so excited we slept in it the first nite, bugs, smells, and all. We know it will be a labor of LOVE.. I have been reading forums on IRV2 for a couple of :eekweeks now and realize we have joined very helpful and caring community . I just hope it is also very patient. Because we are flying blind. But very happy.
THANKYOU, AL & ANDREA.

Welcome, I remember similar issues with some of our first rigs. A little TLC gives you a new appreciation for the fun you will be having with it.

A project it is, having trouble posting pix, using a Motorola Android smart phone. Every time we try to post it says the picture is to big, no matter what setting we use. Any hints or input would be helpful.

The last time we saw Great White was in '91, yeah we're 80's music kind of people. Thanks so much for the intro, our '78 is old and bored, from sitting so long.T.L.C. we can give, and appreciate we do.
