Wayne: have you cornered the market on rare ones or something? you seem to have
quite a bunch of 'em. You just let one of them get away and Tuna got it. I
guess what I'm seeing here is my future as the disease progresses.
A 1952 would be great as that's the year I was born. When did the Flying Clouds
start having a center bath? Is it just a toilet or does it also have a shower
fixture you can hose yourself down with? I can't remember what year the one Jill
was looking at was but I gather it didn't have a shower of any kind. But it was
a 25-footer I think, about the size I'm interested in. The 1954 on the ClassicRV
site is described as center bath but they don't specify if it's a "water closet"
or just a toilet.
Have you have any problems with that pipe frame? am I asking a silly question
here? Or did you do as Tuna suggests and transfer it to a new frame with better
suspension/axle? I kinda like the Dura-Torque on my '62, don't know what a
stiffer/single piece (if that's the way to describe it) one would be like.
