It is ours, and we drove it back 180 miles to the campground today! It is actually a 1995 Itasca Suncruiser, not a Sunrise.
I actually like Ramen. Wifey hates it...lol!
Kevin, here's something I discovered. You cook top ramen and stir in a can of soup. One of my favorites is Chicken Flavored TR w/ Cream of Chicken soup stir in veggies. peas, corn, carrots, even broccoli easily feeds two. HOBO Ala King!
Don't forget Pot Pies!
It is a serious upgrade, being a diesel pusher with a Cummings turbo diesel engine with only 60K miles on an Oshkosh chassis. We will still have to lighten up our load significantly and get rid of a lot of "things" for lack of a basement storage type setup...but I'm okay with that! Half the crap we have in our storage compartments we haven't used since we stored them there...lol! Its interior setup is nearly identical, right down to cabinet space, as what we have now. Tomorrow is hopefully the big day when we bring our "new" home...home!
It is officially a 1995 Itasca Sunrise 32rQ. I found owners manuals online and brochures from Winnebago directly, but haven't been able to find the Oshkosh chassis manual from 1995, so hopefully they are included with the RV. I don't know a heck of a lot about diesels yet.
I will update you all tomorrow night about the Itasca, and if it all went well.
Please keep on sharing our Go Fund Me to your social media accounts though. If we buy this rig at 7K, we still need fuel and food to get us out to Arizona, and the food needs to last us until we start back to work on February 1st. I'm okay with Ramen...lol! Just keep the Go Fund Me at the top of your feeds.
Thank you all SO much for your love and support! We are humbled and eternally grateful!

Good lord! The 87 Champion with the John Deere chassis is disgusting in person. YUCK!!!
We just talked to the guy with the 95 Itasca Diesel pusher. It is a dealership, and when we explained everything to him, he went through the whole coach with us over the phone, and then said he would take 7500.00, or go as low as 7000.00 if I threw in a couple of my rifles. It is 180 miles from here, so we'll be leaving at 7am tomorrow morning, and driving to Lake City. We'll be bringing the pups with us, as well as the Blue Ox tow bar and towing kits and license plate, and a few of my guns I'm willing to part with. If we drive all that way and like it, we are going to buy it on the spot, hook the Jeep up to the tow bar, and drive it back to this RV park in Cottondale.
Wish us luck folks!

Postman...he owes 6700.00 and wants to do the transaction at the credit union. No inspection in Florida, and he just renewed the plates.
What do you guys think about this Itasca? It is a diesel pusher with an almost identical interior layout to what we have now. We MIGHT be able to talk them down to 7K, our maximum budget.
Yep! And he's willing to take 6700.00, which is what he owes on it. Every little bit helps to get us back on our way!
No carfax? Way COOL! the seller is paying off the LIEN with his own $$$ and the fees to file a lien release, then a waiting period for the title in his name for him to sign over to you for $7500. Oh, when is the Inspection and tags due?
We went and looked at the Allegro Bay today, and what a nice coach! If we decide to buy it, we will be buying it on Monday, meeting the seller at his credit union to pay off the note...and then the credit union will give us a clean title with no lien. We even took it for a test drive, and it drives like a dream! Super quiet and handles very well. 44K miles. If we decide to buy the Allegro, we will have to lighten up a lot and get rid of a lot of "things" since there isn't as much storage. I'm totally okay with that!

We are looking at another coach tomorrow in the same price range, a 1987 Champion on a John Deere chassis with a Ford 460 motor. It looks bigger and seems to have more storage, but it sure does look lived in from the Craigslist pictures...lol!

We will also be watching Craigslist in our area (Cottondale, FL, and the Craigslist areas closest to us are Panama City, FL, Tallahassee, FL, Pensacola, FL, and Dothan, AL) to see if any new listings come up before Monday that are a better deal for our price range (7K or less) that might be more suited to our traveling fulltime lifestyle.
