Is That RV New? August 27, 2016, 09:33:05 pm We continue to appreciate it when folks stop and ask if our LD is new ... Like tonight at a SP on Lake Ray Roberts in Texas. And all the questions with an occasional smile, nod, and sigh. Of course, we're never too busy to help. And so it goes.

Re: Is That RV New? Reply #2 – August 27, 2016, 09:49:01 pm When our house was in escrow and we were getting the buyer requested repairs done, one of the contractors saw the SK-POD in the driveway and mentioned that he loved camping and that he, too, had a vintage RV that he was restoring. I offered him a tour, and he was very complimentary on how perfect it looked for its age. "It should, it's barely a year old," I said, then explained the whole Lazy Daze "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy. Good times.fu2015 TK 1 Likes

"How old is it anyway?"You get all types.Now add a couple sea kayaks, on top, for even more interesting conversions. "How do you get them up there?".I get bored pumping gas, as it can take a very long time, so I'm always game for some interesting talk with my fellow patrons.Larry 3 Likes

"I've never seen an RV painted like that; is it from the 40s?" (No, that's me.) And, the inevitable, "You drive it all by yourself?" (Well, yes; the dog simply refuses to learn how.) 8 Likes

" Outloud guffaw...fortunately, nobody to annoy but the staff here at McD's. I was thinking of having my dad's cattle horn wired in, but perhaps Helen Reddy on a loop, with a handheld remote: I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar! I think I like it even better now than I did in 1972. 3 Likes
