And the best part about it, is that it was cheap too. 1983 Southwind 30', with everything on it. Told wifey pooh, that now I was ready for them thar extended FISHING TRIPS. She looked at me kinda funny. Here is some pics if anyone wants to look. Southwind

Congratulations on your motorhome. Looks like a good deal. You'll probably be on I-81 for at least a while, so be prepared for more semi's than you've probably ever seen in your life. I don't know what it is about this route, but I've never seen anything like it. They seem to travel in small convoys and blow by you like a hurricane. Since a motorhome is susceptible to croswinds, be careful. Good luck.

Yea Jack, my route guide is telling me about 100 mile or so on I-81.<br />I will take it slow at first till I get used to it.<br />I drove over the road for 22 years so I should not have to much trouble.

Re: Reading, Pa.

Speaking of motor homes; a major manufacturer lost a negligence law suit brought by a man who engaged the speed control and then walked to the back to make a sandwich, the motor home of course continued down the road for a while and then crashed. He sued and his lawyer successfully argued that the owners manual didn't state that the cruise control wasn't meant to be an "auto-pilot", now of course the owners manuals make that disclaimer. Must be the same lawyer who's suing mickey-dees cuz some of the customers got fat from eating too many big macs and fries, seems the food wrappers didn't have a disclaimer that "eating this product could make you FAT and endanger your health". Well at least they didn't burn thier thighs with hot coffee; now imagine that, coffee that's HOT, what will they think of next. Hey, only in America.

Yea, but them people after Mickey D's cause it made them fat is so unreal.<br />I am not thin by no stretch, but I have only one person to blame for that and it ain't the golden arches. <br />These lawyers, they kill me.

Re: Reading, Pa.

Where the heck was the judge who did not throw this suit out? What were the people in the jury thinking? It is not acceptable for people to sue as a way to increase their wealth. What is wrong with these juries?

You never know scoop, maybe a little stuff going on under the table. I don't put nothing past the judicial system anymore.

REPLY TO CRAB BAIT<br />"bout the lady who got millions when a box fell off a HOME DEPOT shelve ,hit her in the head.. didn't physicaly hurt her any .. it just permently took her physic ability away."<br /><br />NOW, if she were truly physic she would have known the box was going to fall on her head, Judge should have said, "case dismissed, and get the heck outa here".
