And by the way, it costs 15.00 to 200.00 to compound and buff a medium size car, A motor home would probably be well over a thousand dollars.

Do a search for Red Max or Zep floor polish.That is what most people use on their RV's. You just roll it on after a good wash and it looks like new.

Comment by SLEETH on June 13, 2016 at 5:25pm

yep lots of elbow grease or money

money wise closer to 1000.00 = ouch

Good morning, Sheryl Mason;  

     Several things:  

     First, welcome to the group.  

     Second, I do understand about your 1985 Itasca Windcruiser, and possible mobility issues.  I have a 1987 Winnebago Elandan WCP31RT which is remarkably similar in most respects to your earlier Windcruiser.  Yes, those models are not really too ADA friendly, are they?  The fellow who is the closest thing I have to a kid brother also drives a wheelchair, and unless I can come up with some way to lift and shift him over the steps to get him into the Elandan, it is not going to be easy to have him inside it.  For his own use, he has one of the "toy haulers" with an electrically operated back ramp that swings down so he can drive his battery powered chair up into his trailer.  I can't do that with the Elandan, and it has only three (3) steps to get up into it.  How do people cope with the five (5) steps with the new Class A motor homes?  

     And now you have a 1989 Itasca Suncruiser.  I do not remember the exact differences between the Suncruiser and either the Elandan or the Windcruiser.  

     And I do understand about how these older motor homes can be a "project."  Mine has been one.  Still is.  But I do like the looks and style of these older motor homes.  And they are only 9 feet high to the roof and 10.5 feet high to the top of the air conditioners.   They fit better.  

     And finally, Sheryl, thanks for joining in.  I had begun to wonder about where everyone had gone for the month of May. Have fun on your first outing next weekend with the Suncruiser.  

          Enjoy;  

          Ralph

Well I haven't been on here in a while, cause I have been unable to finish our project rv a 1985 Itasca Windcruiser due to mobility issues I have, so my hubby just bought us another old girl that only needs a few minor things and we are scheduled to take her camping June 3rd and 4th, she is a 1989 Itasca Suncruiser both made by Winnebago.

Good morning; 

     A couple of things: 

I see by the change in the number of members that both the Winnebago Group is still the largest group here, and that it has also grown even more. 

And, I am not at home right now.  I am in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at the University of Toronto where the Pan American Games Junior Championship  for Field Hockey is being played this week. 

This game series has been one of surprises.  There has been an upset that was totally unexpected, and some really lopsided scores in a couple of games.  Because of the upset besting Canada, now they have lost two games, and they will not qualify for the final game.  TeamUSA has lost only one game, and that was to Argentina, which was not unexpected, but we are still on track for making the qualification for the Final Game.  It does not matter who wins the Final Game; both of those teams will qualify for going to the World Cup Championship in New Delhi in December.  I may get to buy an airplane ticket for the Number One Grandson for that trip.  

     We flew to Toronto instead of driving the Winnebago.  There was not enough time to drive back to Washington and arrive back in time for the next Good Sam Club Rally in Moses Lake at the Grant County Fairgrounds.  And now I am wondering what Donna Amos, the Washington State Good Sam Club Director, is going to do to follow her surprise for us up in Lynden, Washington at the Whatcom County Fairgrounds back in the middle of May when Donald J. Trump unexpectedly showed up for a rally of his own while we were there. 

     The RV or motor home way of life can have some surprises at times. 

  

          Enjoy; 

          Ralph

I'm very happy with the mid to late 1960's Winnebago Class A motor homes that I own. They are built on a Ford P-350 one ton chassis.

Very simple chassis. Four tires. Four leaf springs. Four drum brakes. Two solid axles and manual steering.

The engine is a 300 (4.9L) six cylinder with a gear driven camshaft.

There you go kiddo. Get with the program. You'll hate being odd man out. No fun being the only sane person in a group of wacko's
