I was informed that this was a 100% legal practice and free from the ANY discrimination law. After I picked my jaw up from the ground, I remembered what another member of this site told me, she basically enlightened me to the sad fact… Continue

Simply heartbroken

Well it seems my dreams have been shattered. I was to purchase a 1983 Winnebego Pace Arrow, the body was great engine good and it was ready for me to customise to not only accomodate my disability (I'm a returning Wounded Warrior) the older model is far better for the changes I needed. Today I told the guy I must let it go, due to the fact that I can NOT find a RV Park that will let me stay a while, why? well it's undesirab;e becaue it's older...What's next people?

Isn't…

Back from our First Little 2 day trip to try out the Motor Home

First of all we had a great time and did not want to leave but had some business to look after today that could not wait or we would still be at the Georgian Bay! When we got home I actually sat in the MH for over an hour in the driveway making little to do lists before we head out again!

On our travels we saw a lot of older ones on the road so there are a lot of them out there thats for sure!

new 318 poly exhaust manifold

As luck would have it, I was talking (whining) about trying to repair or find a replacement 318 poly exhaust manifold at a local parts store, and one of the staff mentioned having a 1965 318 at home.

From the photos you can see the new and old… Continue
