Care to say what all of this work cost you? I've said this many times, but it terrifies me to buy a 5er or TT based on the stories I read. I grew up RVing, but the RVs made by Beaver and Monaco of the 90s and early 2000s my family had didn't have any of the build issues I see in these threads.
Not sure I want to add that up...… I'll look at that later today.

It is worth it !

Please be seated when checking the expenditures, Roy. We don't want you to fall over and hurt yourself....

Friend building his 71 F100 stopped counting at $20,000

Hi Bruce..... Not sure yet. It takes two trips..... I can't double tow due to being too long (over 75 feet long)
I really need an F-150 to tow the boat. Can't afford another truck right now.
