<p>James,</p>
<p>Thank you SO much for your reply. I have sold that camper and now have a 74 Fleetwood that I am living in. It needs a lot of work and it is getting done piecemeal when I have someone to help me and the $$. Thanks again.</p>

<p>Hi! I know I'm a little late to the party. I also own a 1969 Nomad rear entry ,16', full bath TT. I've just finished a major rebuild and weighed it wet yesterday. Original factory weight DRY was 2800 lbs. Has a 5200lb Dexter axle. I weight out @ 3900lbs wet without stocking.

I've installed a full size fridge, 25 gal fresh water tank, new 6gal water heater a forced air furnace, grey water tank, two batteries ,two 20 pd propane tanks and the list goes on. I have a lot of other specs and most of the OEM manuals. You can go on any Cat certified truck scale and get all three axle weights and your over all combined weight. Just make sure you have each axle on a separate pad on the scales. if you need any additional info I might have I'll be glad to get to you.</p>

<p>This is the only Skyline manual I cold find online . It's in .PDF format but is not specific to any year model per se . Although there is some good contact resource in the file that I noticed on quick looking .</p>

<p>The lifestyle is much less expensive, in my case, than living in a traditional home. The folks who buy expensive RV's and travel every few days, or who eat out frequently, are the ones who have a more expensive lifestyle.</p>

<p>Personally, I can cook as good or better than most restaurants. So I seldom eat out. The dog makes me take a long walk every day, which is free entertainment. In the winter months, I go through 20 gallons of propane a month but if I added a 2nd electric heater, I could cut that usage substantially. So, my only bills are the $375/month I pay for the long-term site at the local RV park, and my cell phone bill.</p> my biggest consideration/hurd…tag:goodoldrvs.ning.com,2011-12-26:2093474:Comment:1036812011-12-26T19:57:48.165ZBarbara L.https://goodoldrvs.ning.com/profile/BarbaraL
<p>my biggest consideration/hurdle is to make it all electric. That is because I am on oxygen and cannot risk having an open flame inside at all ever! I already have a microwave that has an oven and broiler so that takes care of that. I was thinking along the lines of the hot plate for a stove, a crock pot & most importantly a coffee maker. I plan on a coleman stove for outside use and probably could dry camp for a few hours to get a nap with a battery back up for concentrator. I have…</p>
<p>my biggest consideration/hurdle is to make it all electric. That is because I am on oxygen and cannot risk having an open flame inside at all ever! I already have a microwave that has an oven and broiler so that takes care of that. I was thinking along the lines of the hot plate for a stove, a crock pot & most importantly a coffee maker. I plan on a coleman stove for outside use and probably could dry camp for a few hours to get a nap with a battery back up for concentrator. I have a portable unit that uses frozen liquid oxygen but will probably change to one that has a battery pack (even though they battery powered ones don't last anywhere as long a liquid o2.) I'm determined and stubborn so I will figure it out but I am also impatient and want to get this show on the road! </p>
<p></p>
<p>I too am pretty much a hermit at this point, not necessarily on purpose, lost my car and just have no way to get out and about. Amazed how content I actually am with the slower pace ( I was a neonatal intensive care nurse for 30 years- a real adrenaline junkie). I have lots of interests and really like people for the most part but just need that kick in the 'arse to get out and going.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I feel like I have finally found what I want to do (since I can't take care of my babies anymore). Talking with you guys make me want to get going even more. I am trying to go thru stuff and get rid of what I can on Ebay, lots of work.</p>

<p>Talk to you later,</p>

<p>Barb, with a single-axle trailer the number of possible tow-vehicles increase dramatically, to include some larger sedans and the small SUV's and small pickups.</p>
