Hi folks,
Well, I've gone and done it now. I decided to dip a toe into the RV water by buying a 1988 Fleetwood Soutwind. I couldn't pass it up, everything seems to work and it was only $2,500 with 38K miles, some water damage but I will fix that myself.
What a steep learning curve. I have ordered parts for the galley faucet to fix a minor drip there (ordered an extra set of faucet cartridges as they were hard to find). I am going to replace the antenna with an HD digital and a couple of the vents but other than that it seems pretty ship shape with new tires and batteries.
I'm not sure where to put my tech questions so I will go and cruise the forums a bit before posting those.
Anyway, I have been reading through posts and y'all seem like a real friendly and helpful bunch. Can't wait to try some local over nighters before the weather turns, maybe even meet a few of you fine folks.
All the best
