I am telling my husband we did very good. Can you tell me if that was a good price even though we have to spend like 5k to fix it?Driving Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529137029526286268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-49115051716770008632017-08-15T20:08:47.197-05:002017-08-15T20:08:47.197-05:00Yup.. we got ours from Al's. We were visiting...Yup.. we got ours from Al's. We were visiting my friend near Beloit, (Shopiere) and hubby discovered the motorhome on Al's lot for sale. The rest is history... he HAD to have it! LOL . We have done a lot to it over the years, and just replaced the inverter this past week. Always something! We are going to loop around Lake Superior next month, through MM and around through Canada and back through the Soo. Then down I think over Mack Bridge and into the Lower Penninsula and maybe even put the motorhome on the ferry from Ludington to Manitowoc. We live just a bit east of Appleton, in Chilton. But we love to travel, mostly in the winter down to the southwest or Florida.

I've thought a lot about that visit - I think it was Lady's last year and she shocked me when she jumped into the river behind your house for a swim. Thank you so much for your hospitality.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-56206701301244587102016-08-22T17:58:09.253-05:002016-08-22T17:58:09.253-05:00I really enjoyed hearing the details on the purcha...I really enjoyed hearing the details on the purchase of your motorhome and your bargaining skills.

Just like Kevin, Steve loves to do his own repairs and improvements which helps keep prices down and also keeps the motorhome running nice and smooth and looking good. Hope you have many, many more years of fun with it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-91178208019676431132016-08-20T19:41:43.248-05:002016-08-20T19:41:43.248-05:00I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed your motor...I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed your motorhome so much over the years.
