About me?  Retired Submarine officer (Diesels and Nukes) and hobbiest mechanic and general fix it guy.  I'm shorter than I once was.  Got lots of creaks and pops when I move.  Don't work too well under a vehicle or under the dash.  Sleep (actually nap) interrupted.  Skin no more protective than toilet paper.  Find tools in my workshop that I have been looking for since the last century.  etc, etc.  78 years old and in good health with all OEM parts and matching numbers.  Never broke a bone. 

After looking for a Toyota powered Sunrader motorhome on the east coast for about 3 years, in November, on Saturday, one finally came up.  On Craigslist !  I got an alert and called the owner immediately.  He said that he had someone coming to look at it at 2pm  Sunday. I asked if he would hold it for me until noon Sunday, I would make the 200 mile trip. The owner said that he would.  My wife, Julie and I got underway early Sunday and arrived at about 11:00. Looked it over. A lot of small stuff needed repair/replacement and it was very dirty.  Has been in storage for the last (at least) five years. It (along with a large newer Class A) had been inherited the RV from his wife's father who had recently died.  We made a deal. Gently drove it home with no unexpected problems.
