My wife and I have talked on again off again about getting an RV, and this year with COVID, finally accepted that this was really the only safe way to vacation. But after looking into the cost of renting one, WOW! We were pretty determined it wasn’t in our future then.
However the in laws had an old class C RV they weren’t using (they have a 32’ toy hauler bumper pull) and offered it to us to use this summer. So I cashed in a few frequent flyer miles and flew out to Cody WY and picked it up.
It’s a 1989 Lindy 2600 built on a Ford Econoline 350, and state of the art as far as 30 year old RVs go! After some lessons on what was where and a shakedown drive, I felt pretty comfortable with it and got ready to leave early the next morning.
It took two relatively slow days but I arrived home in Chicago unscathed, with zero issues. We have since decided to buy it from our relatives who have offered it to us for a song and we are looking forward to taking it on vacation this year and many more in the future!
A thread will be forthcoming to document the repairs and upgrades we’ve already begun undertaking.
