Topic: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?

^ American Clippers are very, very nice rigs - high-quality. And they mostly came with 440s, too.

Yep- a few 360's in the early 70's, a few Chev 400's in the later 70's and the rest were 440's. Shells are solid and a pleasure to work on/ restore/mod. They are happiest in the 55 mph territory, so those in the 'life is a journey to be savored' camp are most rewarded by these old beauties. Not too many are seen east of the divide, but one 78 21' does grace my property.

I'd love to see some pix of your Clipper. Got any to put up here?

There's a gorgeous Travco just down the road from me for sale. Looks fully restored. Want me to check on it for you?


No. I want you to sneak in there in the dead of night and bring it me.

Mark--

There's a Clipper about 35 miles from me.
It needs work, exterior is what you'd expect from Ohio winters, but appears all there.
Y/N?


Leeann--

Help me! That damn Honda. The generator, not the car.
New module and still it's not making electricity.
Got a clue for me?

Trish,

No for now but I don't know what will happen- I contacted a person
who was listing a 1966 Travco 28' at the discussion board.
Got pic's back, it's a real peach- will need some work but I LIKE it!!
Shreveport isn't that much of a stretch from Tulsa too...

I'll keep you posted. Thanks- you're awesome!

your corpulent small friend,

Mark

Thankee, love.

But, and this from experience, find out about the wheels!
You are going to need 1-pc wheels. 17.5 will fit, 19.5 will not.
No, you can't add adapters or i would have.

And the window seals are a bugger to find.
Ditto for the windshields, they are $1000. Each.

Trish,

In the photos these are six lug wheels, will get size.
Don't know if that helps...

Mark
