What did Santa bring for your FGRV?

Fingers crossed for your trip to Jekyll Island. Bob told me that he thinks that they jinx trips to see Mary and him. We had to cancel our visit when Kevin got food poisoning or the flu. We think food poisoning, since I never got anything.

Interested in your 12v change over - LED would be great if possible

If you're referring to my comment about converting them to 12 volt, here's how I did it. I ordered the RV lights from Amazon, and another set of lights called "golf cart lights, or maybe it was golf cart Christmas lights"', but anyway they were just a string of the little bulbs with a cigaret lighter plug on the end. This light string had more bulbs than the RV light set, so I shortened it. Then just pulled the little trailers off the original bulbs and put them onto the 12 volt string. Looking back I should have bought a couple sets of the RV lights to put on the 12 volt string. From Amazon I also bought a socket end (female end) lighter plug with clips, I take a car battery along as I have extras, clip the lighter socket on the battery and plug in the light string. One caution with those lights, I have mine hanging on the edge of a canopy, and water will get in them from rain. I never noticed, but one of our grandkids did, so I had to make a hole in the bottoms to drain out the water.

Thanks so much, I'll check out the 12v golf lights. Since I'm about to rewire my trailer maybe I'll install a exterior 12v recp.

Here's a similar "fireplace" that's retro cool... and double-duty to boot! Retro-Style Radio Heater - Plow & Hearth also available in black.

I feel quilty about it, but I got a 1978 Silver Streak motor home. My parents gave it my sister and she gave it to me. It is similar to this one and I'll pick it up in a few weeks. Jim Jarzabek 1978 Silver Streak Coach

They only made 40 (or 12 depending on which source is used) as production started when the price of gas started to climb and the company lost money on each one they made.

I feel quilty as I plan on putting it on blocks and using it for a lunch break room until I retire, then I'll probably sell it. It really should be on the road but family politics makes it a little difficult to sell. Maybe after a few years I'll sell it to get it back on the road.

It runs but won't pass the California smog test so the only way to transfer title in California is to put in on a junk title under my name. Which is fine, I can un-junk it later and the DMV will leave me alone for the next 12 or 13 years until I retire.

I wish it was fiberglass, but I can't argue with the price and it is pretty cool.

Boy, Thane, that's quite the gift! How about towing your Escape with the Silver streak. You could take the whole extended family on a camping weekend
