Living Large...

Post by mdmead »

In my quest for a motorhome, I think I have found the one I need.

And I won't have to tow a dingy either!

Now, I'm going to need a bit of help from all of you.... If you would each send me about $10K, I think I can swing it!

Gezzz Matt,that sure is sweet.But buying it is only part of the story.I think you would need a sponsor to fuel it up too.

Now if you could have the manufacture modify the bottom compartment to accommodate a ZZ Safari van and you don't mind living with Peter and a Fluffy white dog,you might be able to talk ole Petey into paying for the fuel. :rolleyes: :yawinkle: :muhaha: :muhaha:


Oh Yeah-you would probably still have to tow the Tamper behind.Well............old habits die hard. #-o

Uhm, I'm going to have to revise my request from all of you good folks... Please send me a check for $50K instead. (For those of you who have already sent me the $10K check, thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience of having to send another $40K.)

Funny you should bring this up. It just so happens this is what I'm trading in... (It is too tall. I keep hanging it up in the trees of the campgrounds!) :muhaha:

A few yrs ago I met a vendor at Hartville,Ohio flea market who had bought Dolly Parton's old tour bus and converted into a motor home.His toad that he towed behind it was a power stroke Ford van.The belly of that thing was huge.It held everthing he was selling that covered 6 rented spots and the inside was soooo sweet.But the thing was I watched what he sold and couldn't figure out how he made any money.
