Good morning all, nice morning here. They keep saying 20% chance of thunder storms but that just means will have a few clouds hanging around with no rain or thunder. I got up to 94 yesterday.

Morning! Nice day here also. Just waiting for my "new" motorhome to get delivered today. Went to my local trucking co this morning to look at a screwed up grain trailer that needs a lot of welding......Stupid truck drivers.....Oh well, he got fired! Now I get to fix it!

Nope, late 80's Winnie, just new to me...lol Mike bought it 7 years ago for $500 and has never used it! Since I'm "semi-retiring" I wanted a rig I could take gold mining, fishing, to Bonneville!

So he sold it to me for 500 bucks!

Awesome! I'm gonna be getting my dad's in-bed camper from him as soon as he gets himself a 5th wheel.

It's in great shape. Dodge chassis w/ 318, 2 cyl Onan genset, new tires, new brakes, and a bunch of other work. I'd drive it anywhere, anytime........

0-55 in 10 minutes that funny, would that also mean it gets gpm (Gallons per mile).

My 460 powered F-250 has 110 more hp and gets 12-13mpg on the hi-way, 0-60 it has almost performance car like acceleration..........the Chevy motor home gets 8mpg, and you had better NEVER pull out in front of traffic in it unless you like a long line of pissed off people behind you giving you the one finger salute as they pass you!

318's are good motors normally those dodge campers have 360 motors in them. one way to tell is look on left front side of the motor behind power steering pump below the left head the engine size is there. and the date it was built is on the right just below the frost plugs. with a 4bbl on them they look the same. the 318 is a 010 over bore 273. the 340 is a 318 thats 030 over. same stroke. the 360 is a longer stroke bigger crank jounarls
and 60 over. sorry don i've had a few i found and hp318 in a police cruiser. and i had a 340 duster. my ex totaled it. i found an old 77 fury with a 360 intercepter in it,it was a police sleeper. my stock car has a 318 w/360 4v heads on it.

Sounds like a nice motorhome... looking for a good deal on a 5th wheel here, hope to pick one up cheap over the winter.
