My road to R.V. independence has been terrible. Some of you might remember I bought a class C Monaco. Had terrible problems and gave it away when the tranny gave out. I was in coos bay Oregon. Hang on.
It gets worse. September end rolled around and I bought a class A
Winnebago Itasca. 24'. Well my luck is just a brick.
I owned it for about 24 hours I parked it on a lot. Dumb idea.
It got hit by a semi. Dammit! So I have to wait for the insurance
To settle up. Then I'll be looking for YET another motorhome.

I have to ask.....why didn't you pay to have the transmission repaired? Instead of giving one RV away and buying another?





Money. Sitting in a really bad spot. Oh, Did I mention money?

Holy cow.

The could sure use you in the forest fire areas. The way it has rained on your parade the fires would be out PDQ.

Sorry to hear your first two didn't work out.

The third time's lucky, as the saying goes.

Let us know what you get next.

You might be better off to just go buy a tent until your luck changes! With your luck it just may be lots cheaper. Lol!:B
