Sculptor Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hi everyone. I am looking forward to the ECR very much. We attended the National in Hutchinson. That was a huge first for us, meeting many of you, and driving not flying that far west. Thank you for your warm welcome and willing information. I have been shopping (obsessing, DW would add) for what will probably be a Volvo 730. I have seen a few but even the unconverted trucks are a bit more than the average 780. RVH has many fine fine haulers but for me price is a pretty big factor. As much for the difficulty financing such. If you are attending this year's ECR, and your rig is for sale, would you mind posting some info or a link? I hope the organizers don't mind.

In fact I will have a message board at the rally where people can also post rigs for sale. What I have always discouraged is people showing up at the rally just to sell a rig or product and not be part of the event itself as a participant. If anyone at the rally wishes to have a "for sale" sign in the windshield of their truck or taped to their trailer that is acceptable also.
