So, I wonder if it is worth the trouble and money restoring the old girl/boy? Your thoughts?

A little P.S. Investing in an old RV is pretty much a personal thing but, you have to weigh the cost over a new unit. Figure in interest and full coverage insurance along with the planned obsolescent's or just plain poor construction methods these cookie cutter units are built under, are you really better off to buy new? Not to mention how good you feel when the sweat equity falls into place. It gets crazy doesn't it. Big thing is to have fun with what ever you choose to do.

I support the addiction / habit, of restoring these relics for use and enjoyment. I was at a race venue this past weekend enjoying vintage auto racing, It was awesome. Their motto is, "we don't collect art we race it." Well we don't race it but there is little argument that some of these Old RV's are a work of art and as Lakota stated, when you park next to a MC Mansion and people by pass it to comment on your rig, it makes you a little proud to have it. Good luck on your resurrection, sorry, restoration. :)

Russ is right,,, we are like a bunch of rusty lugnuts looking for a wheel. Heres a point to ponder, You cant build a castle if its already built. Rebuild the ole girl and bring her back to her glory. Then when you pull up along side a shiney brand new billion dollar rig,, you can show off, your hard work and pride. Also,, since you have had it for 15 years,,, isnt it part of the family?

Thanks Russ you are right.  After all I have had it for 15 years and feel it deserves it's former grandeur.

Steve, you asked that question of the wrong bunch of people if you want to be rid of it. I think I can safely say that all of us will give you the response of "Fix it." We are a group of oldie lovers who will invest tons of money into RVs that we know we will never get back, and think nothing about it, well almost nothing LOL.
