Haha! Excellent. Triple decker cup holder FTW! I all seriousness though, check out all the suspension/ drive line components for wear. The items that will roll that thing into a ball if they break. Try to assess the overall condition of the vehicle w/o spending a lot of $$ so you can back out if you need to before you are too deep into it. Have fun.

I'm pretty stoked, but also a bit apprehsive; this could either be a really fun project & toy, or a complete fucking nightmare. Time will tell.

Just what I was thinking lol. Has potential to be fuckin' awesome though.

Thanks for the words of advise & encouragement. I spent a serious amount of time crawling around under it when I went to see the thing. The chassis has 67k on it, so it looks good, as in, good for it's age. I won't be winning any rally stages, or hanging out in the left lane, but I can sleep wherever I want, and move around as my heart desires. Adventure is the word I'm using for this purchase, so good or bad, I'm sure to come out of it with a good story.

I forgot to mention that the PO owned a wrecking yard, and was what might be called mechanically inclined, so when he overhauled the motor he also built a custom twin exhaust, and added twin cherry bombs to spice things up a bit. The pipes exit just on front of the rear wheels on both sides, as pictured.


Oh, and Mikeedler, your RV is siiiccccckkk. I am jealous. Not jelly.
