hello everybody,
well its been a long cold winter, i have the interior done, got old woody tuned up, oil changed, now i just need to take it to the muffler shop to get new exhaust installed. it really turned out well, much better than i expected. my wife added real nice curtains for the final touch. i put new blinds in the bedroom. and even got that 1983 tv. working good, it really has a good picture. i left it, because it was already built in. added a flat screen to the bedroom....

well boys and girls tomorrow i join the vast number of you who enjoy hitting the roads in your moter home. i will take delivery of my 1983 chevrolet sportscoach. its an oldy, but a goody. with only 45k it is in excellent shape for its age. also has all the latest features for its time. i plan to polish and shine, and leave it as origanal as possible. it has lots of great wood work, and is very well built. i had a 32ft camper for the last year and really caught the camping bug.
