Re: [VFB] camper fishing - convenience
We lost about 12,000 dollars on the one we had. Got rid of it after only taking three short and one long trip with it. Sold it at a loss.

We can be camped in Yellowstone in 6 hours with that little Chinook, on less than one tank of gas. For those of you cranking up the AC, just think of me up here still freezing my butt off.

Nothing wrong with it- just doesn’t have the slick technology of the I-phone. Got tired of my son showing me up with his I-phone. The Droid has all the accessories, plus the windshield mount for the navigator function. It’s OK for a personal phone, just not as handy for a business phone.

Re: [VFB] camper fishing - convenience
Sorry about your loss- sounds like an un-happy camper story. That’s probably because you live at the destination point everyone else wants to head to. So you never needed to go anywhere else to be where you wanted to be. And too, motorhomes are work and expense for maintenance. Nothing is cheap anymore. But... finding a spot to camp during high tourism season is a real chore at times. So having the ability so free-camp in the boonies is a definite plus, and I don’t have to pay for the overnight camping spot just to get a fire-ring. I can take the Chinook places my 34’ Raptor would never go.

Re: [VFB] camper fishing - convenience
Don, We bought it from a neighbor that was living in it on the lake while he was working north of us. It was in the winter time. I had assumed that it was in good shape. It was real clean inside. They were moving and he offered it to me for a price that I thought was a bit high but the bank approved the loan. We started having problems right off. The AC did not work, The heater did not work. Both batteries went dead on our first short trip.We found out about the heater on that same trip. Then the refrigerator went out,The water system had been worked on and the hot and cold water were hooked up backwards. The first trip, we used two quarts of oil in the first 100 miles. I could go on but it will get boring. It was just what we wanted and they were leaving in a few days so I really did not check everything out like I should of. We later found out we paid twice as much as it was worth on the market. I did a lot of the repair work on it.
