Winnebago?

That's right, Winnebago. 1987 Winnebago Elandan 35'. With every, EVERY, option known to man, plus a few they invented such as a greeting light, to use, per the instruction manual, "When encountering other winnebago owners on the road." Will have pictures tomorrow.

For free, it's in pretty great/near perfect shape.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Re: Winnebago?

The process of obtaining such a thing:

1. Given 1985 georgie boy 25' rv. $85 registration fee

2. post on craigslist that it's to small for family, want to trade for something larger. $0

3. find guy who has 25' horse trailer and doesn't want to tow it behind his 35' rv, wants something smaller. $0

4. meet up and test drive his. $30 fuel

5. he test drives mine. $0

6. even trade.

7. Registration again: $85

Total invested to have 35' winnebago: $200

Future expenses:
$25 for RV wash
$20 for long ass brush to scrub it with
$20 for steam cleaner to clean all carpets and cushons
$80 for new aux fuel gauge
$30 for repair patch for awning
$80 for one new muffler
$?? for engine AC compressor

To do:
Wash... everything.
Re-laquer the wood beverage tray by the captains chairs
Hit all cabinets with "protect-all"
steam carpets
scrub walls
replace piece of molding around one window
figure out how plumbing works
tuneup on generator
Wax the whole thing
cover pilot & copilot seats
repair one panel on dash
figure out how electrical works
figure out how leveling system works
repair a couple screens
figure out how to squeeze a few more HP out of that chevy 454
replace engine AC compressor

Plenty to do, but shouldn't take that long. Washing all cushon covers tonight and airing out the cushons. Will wash it up this weekend. Kids are excited. Going to dutch wonderland in a few weeks for hte weekend, there's an rv park right next to it.

Re: Winnebago?

Rather than covering the front seats, I humbly suggest a pair of SVX seats up front. You know they are comfy for long hauls.

Re: Winnebago?

@ Jay, that is one sweet motorhome

@ crazyhorse, I dunno why, but the SVX seats were never comfy for me, after long drives I used to feel numbness in my right leg ...

The time I removed the stock seat and replaced them with the aftermarket ones, I never felt this anymore

@ Rebecca, that is one sexy interior

Plus with the ladder it will make a great camera platform for the group photo since the candyvan won't be at Reading this year.
