Nice trailer Mark!!
My 86 Winnebago is not as nice as newer ones but it's paid for and it works for what I need it for. I will just keep fixing it up a little at a time. I got the commute car half way waxed yesterday afternoon after work before I lost daylight. I need to finish it and do the daughters mustang and all the vehicles will have a good coat of winter wax. Hopefully the mower guy will finally have mine fixed by Friday, but the weather forecast for Saturday is showing a 60 percent chance of rain.

Ugh, we go through this every year, but I just always forget how much productive time we lose in the evenings!

Be careful what you ask for Jacob, That was my plan and it turned out to be a lot bigger job than I planned. Not where I wanted to be on updating the interior but I will get there one day. Biggest thing is the last owner just let her sit so I had to go thru the whole drivetrain, brakes, cooling system, etc to get her road worthy again.

The only good thing about getting darker earlier is there is a ton less traffic on the road when I am heading home. I broke down and drove the Lightning back to Ft. Benning this morning as I was having supercharged V8 withdraws.

Been there done that. We are done with motorhomes for that exact reason. Just too expensive to keep up mechanically. When we started looking a trailers I was looking used, wife said nope. Her reasons were good so it will be new.

You need to be careful doing things against the HOA rules it could cost you your house. They can and will fine you, take you to court, place a line on your house and possibly foreclose.

The only good thing about getting darker earlier is there is a ton less traffic on the road when I am heading home. I broke down and drove the Lightning back to Ft. Benning this morning as I was having supercharged V8

You still commuting? I thought your plan was to stay in the motorhome

Yeah I Know, the HOA I live in right now already hates me, loudest vehicle in the hood, (had) the loudest motorcycle in the hood (my restored 83 I had). Its a nice neighborhood, but you cant take the country out of the people that move in.
When I do buy the bego, I will have land. Been looking in the dahlonaga area and west side of lake lanier, possibly the winder area too. I had land, and I want it again.
