1973 Winnie D18

just picked up a second owner D18 the young fella we got it from bought it from original owner who kept it under hay shed all its life. he put new frt tires on it in 16 and 2 new batterys and used it one weekend. couldnt figure out air pressure water system so he had a 12 volt pump installed.
my wife chewed him out for not cleaning out the fridge. any way i drove it home 100 miles .set the aftermarket cruise at 55 and away grandson and i went. handles way better than my Itasca Suncruiser deisal. if can sell the Suncruiser,.will put a few thousand into this. new back tires. maybe remove the rug and put lino on the floor and new windshields.

had a 73 21 footer. great little moho's. drove it for 77k miles. 2 things, the ride is rough and any thing over 50mph and the gas mileage drops way down. As low as 6.5 mpg. At 50 I got about 9ish. good luck.
