SuiteSuccess Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Were still trying to get this worked out. But should get there the 22 Sat. And stay for 3 or 4 days. That's about all I think we can get to work. Still not sure if we will pull the camper. Or just drive over and stay in town. Its about 4 hour drive for us. So not that far at all. Trying to hold off until the dates are posed as when each Seminar will be set. Pete Pete, Just discussed this and should have tentative schedule posted on forum and website by Monday. David has been putting it in an easy to follow format and is just about through. Can't thank him enough. Hope you can make it. Don't know if you've been to Crossville but there is a Holiday Inn on Peavine Road exit which is the initial exit for Deer Run Campground and would put you about 5 miles away. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

SuiteSuccess Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Pete, The names of the seminars are posted midway down on this page. Gregg will start things off Sunday with his buy and build. The "Buying a New Truck " will also be Sunday. Monday should be truck lighting, and other of the new build topics. The more detailed topics will be Tuesday and Weds. Will post David Dixon's arrangement and schedule times as soon as I receive it. http://eastcoasthdtrally.com/product/2017-rally-registration/ 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Yep, I know, BUT with my budget...... Probably out of my price range! I have a line on one that I can afford and hopefully look at soon.......

I have a line on one that I can afford and hopefully look at soon....... If you can't afford one of the trucks from the "For Sale" section here, you're bankrupt before you even take possession of a truck from the average fleet owner.

rickeieio Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 While there's no guarantees, I'd say your odds are better on a truck found here. Most have had any known issues fixed, oil changed, modifications done, etc. Those are mostly small items that tend to add up quickly. Good luck.

Jack Mayer Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Unless you are very skilled at inspecting trucks, and also have some luck on your side, you are far better off looking at a truck with a known history. Most trucks advertised here do have that known provenance. It is worth a considerable amount.....how much is up to you. But a truck that has been run by a conscientious RV owner for a year or more will have MANY things fixed on it. No truck is perfect, and you still need to budget for repairs. But you generally increase the "satisfaction" factor if you buy a truck that meets all your requirements and has been run in RV service for some time. You also have to be honest with yourself in your ability to take an imperfect truck and move it towards reliability and perfection. The cheaper the truck, the more you will have to do....that rule is almost cast in concrete. While there are some notable exceptions, in general you do get what you pay for.

dblr Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Don't be afraid to say what truck your interested in ( unless your afraid someone beats you to it ) when I was looking I inquired about one for sale on here and lots of folks knew the truck and actually reached out to me and helped me make my decision. A very good group here that helps even if they do not know you, we were glad for the help and are pleased with our purchase. Good luck on your decision. 2017 River Stone Legacy 38MB 2001 T2000 Kenworth 2009 Smart Passion ET Junior hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
