VegasFlyer Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Geo, What's prompting you to sell your pride and joy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&K Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Its an unfortunate side effect of Karen and I splitting up. I'm going to be very sorry to see the Volvo go, its been a great truck and I love driving it. Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adept99 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 To heck with that - buy a 6 pack and carton of cigarettes and head for Mexico...(in the truck) YeHaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&K Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Lol! Things are reasonably amicable considering, it would be a shame to put a spike in that. I've had my driving fix for this summer, that trip Nashville/Toronto/Victoria was fantastic. Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldRush Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Might help folks to know where you're located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Might help folks to know where you're located. If you click on the link Geo provided, his location is about half way down a very nice list of info. IMO, this would be a great truck for someone. Way cheaper than chasing down something of that caliber, doing all the preventative stuff, and having a bed built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldRush Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 My bad, I must've read that 5 times and it didn't register or it missed my scrolling on the phone. Victoria, BC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&K Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Yes. I'm actually in Sidney, BC. Ten minutes from the ferry to Vancouver, BC, two minutes from the ferry to Anacortes, Washington State and five minutes from Victoria International Airport! Pretty handy considering we are way out on the left coast. Lol Have just uploaded a video of the pull up to the Columbia Icefields in Jasper National Park. Nice grumbly rumble from the D-16 and you can hear Eco-Roll and the engine brake on the downhill sections. http://s881.photobucket.com/user/ghmorris/media/Volvo%20780/096911871_n.mp4.html Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&K Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Truck and RV are both sold. I get one final delivery road trip. Thank you very much to everyone, your support is greatly appreciated!! Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldRush Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Someone got a great deal! Too bad you only got $20K! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&K Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I said sold, not given away. I hope we both walked away feeling slightly miffed about what we paid and received, which usually means we both got a fair deal. I'm quite happy.

GoldRush Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 You didn't get the joke. If you "Only" got $20K the wife would only get half of $20K. The other $30K ends up being a consulting fee down the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstark Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Well George; sorry to hear of the rather short time you spent with our old girl. I periodically kept abreast, through these pages, your progress in updating the Suites and marvelled at all the stuff you did to her. Someone got themselves a good deal I'm sure. It's always sad when later years, supposedly the best years, have these challenges but I'm sure you and Karen have arrived at what's best for you both and we wish you both nothing but the very best of luck for the future.

G&K Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Bruce, much appreciated. The Suites is going to a very good home, I think you'll be impressed. I am. Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstark Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 George; it's sitting on Vancouver Island is sure a coincidence as I took it onto the island for an RCN ERA Apprenticeship Reunion and managed to shoehorn it into a spot in Westbay Marina that handled both it and the 4400 toter parked beside it. I'm sure you've had similar experiences with it that would cause a sensation when you were pulling into an RV park. Westbay were very cooperative after I assured them if they kept inter park traffic stopped I could have the thing on it's assigned site and set up inside of 20 minutes. Happy to hear someone is going to get some more enjoyment out of it. That girl has been as far southwest as SanDiego, as far south as Mercedes Tx as high as Cloudcroft NM, as far southeast as Fort Myers Fl all through the interior US and across Canada while we owned it and I can only guess where it's been while hooked to your truck. It should write a book or perhaps someone from Escapees should market a log-book to go with trailers throughout their travels, much like a small aircraft.

G&K Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Bill. We're thinking maybe a travel trailer around 28 - 30'. Possibly an Arctic Fox or Bigfoot. Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
