About Me
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.
