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

It is good to see this thread still going. I cranked up the motor home a couple of weeks ago. It purred like a kitten. [emoticon]

The external generator started right up also.

We spent the last 4 days camping with some friends. Hoping to install the genny next weekend. Everything else worked well. Learned a range I have to keep the RV level though, woke up the first morning to a warming Fridge. We re-leveled the unit, and froze everything...

Kids didn't want to go home.

Some of us haven't had time, money, health to do too much this year. Still trying to get a truck and get parts to fix the front end damage from last July's accident. Something about my doctors don't want me doing anything other than rest for 8 weeks after the heart surgery. [emoticon]

A quick timeline:
15 days ago, I bought a 1976 Dodge Sportsman for $2,000. Needed help, wasn't sure what I was getting into. I named it Phil...for no particular reason.

14 days ago, I found this web site.
13 days ago, I found this thread.
Today, I finally got done reading thru all 427 pages of threads.
This has to be one of the coolest threads I have ever read on any forum anywhere. So much so that I have a folder in my bookmarks just for specific posts on various topics.
I've already started another thread in this section (http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/23854253.cfm) about my trials and tribulations, but figured it was time I added to this one.

Cheers...

ALnCORY...the carpet install went perfectly using the Home Depot 5x7 carpet as you suggested. Looks great.

Rooftop AC and generator is installed, which helped tremendously while I was installing the tile floor this week-end. I got the materials to insulate the doghouse and will hopefully have that completed this week as well. Maybe a new exhaust system if funds allow.

It's camping season!

One more item...found a '78 Dodge RV with a blown motor. They want $800...I want it for $500. :-) The new tires and rims alone would be worth it. It has a new AC compressor, the side view mirrors and a many other "spares" that could be useful on our '77 Brougham.
