I think you should pay someone, namely me, to come and remove that old,
beat up, eyesore of an RV from your property. For a reasonable amount, I
might take the trailer also.

For the little use we have for it, I should take you up on that offer.
Mrs.E. will have no part of getting rid of it though, at least not yet. I
take it out once a month and drive it around for a day, running the
generator, just to keep it up to 'snuff. That's what is nice about it's
size. You can also use it for around town transportation and not feel like
you are driving a big RV or truck. When I was building a stairway up to my
new office and needed some 14' 2x10's at Lowe's, it came in handy. Still,
after 2 and a half years, it only has 3,700 miles on it.

Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks, I am planning on a little
mid-winter voyage in it. I have no idea where I am going to head, but it
will be someplace warmer and dryer than here. Winter sucks.

Hey, if you want to deliver it to DC, I could be talked into giving you a
bike ride back up north.

Winter does suck, and it's even worse with a bad neck. I tried jogging on
the treadmill yesterday. That lasted all of about 12 seconds. Hell, I can't
even go to the indoor range and hit golf balls. The grass isn't growing, so
no mowing. Cabin fever sucks!

The local tanning booth?

I'm thinking of driving up to Annapolis later to buy fishing line. I
only have about 15 spools of it, but I need more. Gives me an excuse to
visit the boatyards along the way and see if spring has hit any of them.

Is it the boatyard where your lobster boat is? If so, take some pics,
we'd all love to see it!

Be careful. Mid winter boredom is what led to buying another guitar that I
needed like a hole in the head.

My wife only lets me hold my "unlimited plastic card" when she is with
me. That's in case she wants a new washing machine or a new car. The
only card I usually carry is my "internet purchase" cash card, which
never has more than a few hundred bucks' room on it. Of course, if I
want to buy clothes, there are no limits. Some years, I spend as much as
$300 on new shorts and shirts. Without wifely supervision. Which
explains all the semi-pornographic fishing shirts I have in my closet I
cannot wear in public.

If you do unload that Sprinter camper, post it in here first.
JohnH will only get as far as Disney World and that's where it'll end it's
life..up on blocks at some sleazy trailer park.

Nope. First trip will be to Flagstaff, AZ, for at least a couple of weeks.
There is just an awful lot of beauty within a days drive of Flagstaff.

Did you ever follow up or try to negotiate on the one you saw for sale on
the military base?

The asking price is $63,000, and the most I could get the NADA value to was
about $53,000 for that year, mileage, and accessories. I called and talked
to the lady. She tried to convince me it was a super deal, even when I
pointed out I could get a new 2007 (different make, same chassis), for
$62,700. She started in about how theirs was on a Mercedes chassis, and was
much better than what I was looking at. When I pointed out the chassis were
the same, she just kept saying that her's was a real good deal.

A poster over on 'RV' said that maybe they financed and still owed that
amount. That sounds like it may be true.
