Title: My New Ride/Home
dtroup - January 30, 2007 01:16 PM (GMT)
As you may know we are getting ready to move from MN to NM, about 1500 miles. We bought a 1973 Winnebego Indian motorhome to make the move and live in when we get there because we can rent RV spaces down there for $50 - 150 depending on features vs $300-500 for rent, plus we own it!! It has a 440 with less than 50,000 miles on it and it has $1300.00 worth of brand new rubber all the way around. It was listed for just under a grand and we got it for $660.00. Here are some pics of the inside, it was too damn cold to take any pics of the outside. It needs some work but nothing we can't handle.;) We were told that it gets 10 mpg loaded or empty.
Drivers seat
Kitchen sink
Bunk above drivers seat, slides up & down about 12 inches
Kitchen table/doubles as double bunk
Upper bunk in back AKA storage
Bunk on other side in the back AKA storage
same bunk
Tom Thumb bathtub with the stove top AKA storage, truckstops have shower rooms and so do state parks
Tom Thumb sink, you can wash 1 hand at a time, and ac
closet and camode

I'm actually planning on using 20 gal rubbermade tubs (hopefully clear or translucent) not sure exactly where yet but I gotta be able to plug them in and feed them, besides the tub will be full of other rubbermaid tubs full of "stuff". :laugh:

Yep, and I won't have to pay as much rent when we get there, 50-150 p/month for a place to park it vs 300-500 p/month if we had to rent an appartment.
