Thats too bad pat....does it really mean its been rebuilt all three times or does it show rebuilt when it changes hands and is sold or possibly just a way to register it to save money or hassel somehow...it might be an opportunity to haggle 'em down…

sounds like a reasonable price, and I agree the chevy 350 in mine is quite powerful- we truck along at 65 all day..found this ad for a cobra rv, not class c but owner might know some stuff! http://plantcity.olx.com/vehicles-cat-362

Hey Nik, in addition to VK's advise the problem in addition to the brainboard could be the small selinoid (sp) that activates when the unit is on. It over a period of time sometimes gets hot begins to loose some of it's former streagth to hold the v…

Hi Nik, you might try cleaning the furnace ignitor and sensor. I'm guessing at the probable model of your furnace. It doesn't have a pilot, right? There are sensors that go bad, your board could be failing or the propane lines could have oil in them…

Oh man, buses. Click on some of my bus videos... like Magic Bus. They're cool. We had the 57 bus at the top of goodoldrvs and, like the idiot I usually am, sold it. Been searching for it ever since to buy it back. I've got a whole bus blog in our blogs where you can check out some buses and layouts... some from the Olympic Peninsula just north of your old stompin grounds.

Yep, rvers are pretty kewl group from all walks of life and the land of hard knocks too. They like helpin other folks cause they (we) have been there.

Hmm, wonder if anyone does body art of RVs? Or RVs at burning man... you gotta make burning man!!

Nik, glad you made it to Reno. Bit sorry you had to swallow the anchor and sell the boat, but now I guess you have a land yacht. Looks like a very classy class C.
Good luck in Reno. If the cold and gamblers bum you out try Tempe. it's warm there!
