Hi Everyone - Intro & Looking to Get into a 1982 38 Classic
#8

Welcome Wil, we are also fairly new to the coach world. We picked up a 1985 classic about 2 years ago and drove it home 150 miles on the 15 year old tires (not advocating you do the same) Our was sitting 15 years in a barn and it broke down 40 miles from home. We managed to get it started after about 2 hours and drove it to the closest shop (big mistake) as they really ripped us off. This was one of many mistakes or learning opportunities we have made so far. After the shop nightmare we spent several months planning and trying to learn how everything worked or more what still worked. We also asked many dumb questions on here and had several people willing to help us. Along the way we considered selling several times! But after a break from working on it we went back to it. Now after one and a half years of work we have taken four 100 mile trips as test runs. We plan to do several more of these before we really start driving it a longer distance, call it shaking the bugs out. Hope everything works out and you get to enjoy yours.

Also you may want to call you drivers license department and check if you need an endorsement for your state. Here in Kentucky I do not and our is 37,000 pounds as long as I do not use it for commercial use.
