33' of sheer luxury from maybe 1980, massing about 4 tons, with a 454 ci GM V8 on gas. 2 AC units, a built-in vacuum system, and a generator that used to power whole campgrounds. The generator is currently out to save weight. A wood stove has now replaced the breakfast nook, and the AC is gone for a canoe rack. I'll recommend lots of solar panels up top, possibly folding or semi-tracking.
An ill-advised attempt at towing it by the front anti-roll bar had bent it out of place, and inspired high quotes from mechanics, but an old farmer can wrestle things back with cable winches, etc. It has no water damage, and even the tires are new.
He'd admired it for years because it lacks the modern swooshes, being more of a blank canvas, and finally made queries on just the right day, when the property was being sold. It was a drive-away, just a bit hard to herd.
