  1. I'm new to this RV ownership thing, so I have a lot to learn. My 1984 Toyota Horizon has seen a lot of the Oregon parks. I purchased it from an aquaintance who could not afford the storage rates and couldn't park it in her trailer park. It was supposed to be tight, with a new engine installed, 350 Chevy, 700 Transmission, with the overdrive, and leak proof. She had only just bought it herself, when she had to get it gone. I put a new battery in it and brought it home. Only twice have we attempted a 'trip' with the last so called trip, breaking down 300 miles from our destination and 300 miles from home. So, our excellent mechanic installed another 350 short block, but this time did it right. It is a go-getter, but, everything about it is old. The insides all work, replaced toilet, removed the so called shower. Changing the orange shag stuff to turquoise and beige. I have now into it twice what it is worth, but there is no stopping now. Can't quit right before we start having fun with it....Last week we took a quick jaunt up north, and holy moly, I was exhausted from the wiggile waggle, particularly when the big rigs passed on the left. She can go like hell, but the undercarriage doesn't let you. Now it's new shocks, front and back, and even though there is tread, I want to see a more substantial tire, particularly up front. Can't wait for the fun to begin....
