Howdy all,

thanks

hi all,

do you guys have any suggestions on what to use for exhaust gas venting using hose for the coach and my truck?  

i have looked online and you can find ones that are like 100 bucks a foot, but that is not what i am looking for.  i am talking about running it about 35 to 40 feet.

Low reserve low miles.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL......
MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS FINALLY COME TRUE IN THE COMING YEAR .......

After 19 years, my microphor toilet is history.  The seals are blown and water was everywhere.  I am replacing it with a Aria Classic with no air nor 12v.

Since the toilet and the exit hole is directly above the tank, I'd like to drill a new 2 or 3 inch hole in the tank inbetween the existing 2 1.5 inch holes (see photo).  The one on the left is routing the old toilet waste line  The one on the right is for a vent.

My big question is . . . is it advised?  Will the new hole severely weaken the tank in this area since there are already 2 holes nearby?  The new proposed hole gives a straight shot down with no bends.  What do I need to know?  Thanks for your input!!!!

PS. I do have the china bowl in bone. It is in great shape. I'm in the Portland Oregon area.

There's a 40' 76 needing a motor in the Columbus, IN area for $3,500. Pretty sure that Retro would make anyone interested a great deal on the Cummins 555 that he took out of his coach. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/rvs/4782858093.html

howdy all,

i am close to being ready to paint the inside of the shop. the walls i am going to do a semigloss white.

the question is the ceiling. being 20 foot high and 4600 sq foot of un interrupted ceiling, the painter is suggesting doing a flat ceiling paint to hide imperfections.

i will be running cars/newell inside as i work on them some. if i do flat, will the ceiling turn black from exhaust? not that i would wash 20' ceilings if they were semigloss or satin.

so, if it was you and the walls were semigloss, what would you do for the ceiling?

Flat

Satin

Semigloss

Note: This discussion started on another thread so i moved it here. It was getting very interesting and i thought it deserved its own thread. if you have suggestions on a better title for it, let me know and i will change it

Over the past month or so we have done some serious soul searching regarding our future retirement plans, what we need for a rainy day fund, retirement account balance, whether to sell our home and go full-timing (exit strategy if we do), buy property and build our forever-home on it, etc., etc., etc. We also sat down with our 32 year old daughter the day after Christmas and watched quite a few YouTube videos of Dave Ramsey as she tries to figure out her course in life.

All this lead-in is to say that we have concluded that our desire is still to go full-timing but to purchase a motorhome, Newell or otherwise, in the $300K - $400K range, as has been our plan for awhile, is probably something we should remove from our thought process. It just does not make economic sense for us and, although we could afford to do it, there are other money priorities that this would have a huge impact on.

I apologize for running on but I showed my wife your coach on MOT and we sat and pondered for awhile and both said, "you know, that thing is beautiful and there is no reason we couldn't enjoy full-timing in something of that age that is that well appointed and looked very well taken care of."

Sorry we aren't yet in the market but just thought I would pass on that your coach may have been the trigger that leads us to look at much older coaches than we previously thought we would. I have to believe that that coach won't last long on the lot!

Gang,

I often see those "Buy your gold here" commercials. William Devane has made a career touting gold coins, bullion and silver. What he never says is how do you sell all that gold....Well, I find myself in kinda the same situation. I think I know how to buy a coach, but how do you sell one?

I am contemplating selling 653. It's a race coach with lots of miles, but has been heavily -- some might say obsessively-- maintained while I have been its caretaker over the last 4 years. I have done tons of upgrades to the coach, and will miss it, but I really want to spend time doing other things right now. My plan is to sell 653 and then in a year or two, buy a newer Newell.

I have thought about doing a consignment with someone like MOT, but have heard mixed reviews. (please don't flame me!). A lot of coaches show up on eBay, but few are really sold there. RVT.com has tons of listings but I am hesitant about letting random people drive the coach.

So, how should a guru think about this?

Cheers,
bill
