> On that note - Karen! You have 2 as well? It seems so many people here have more than one..
Weeeeelll, you know, once you start looking for them, it's hard to stop. So you get one,
learn more about them, maybe decide there are features on other models you'd rather have.
And then a deal you can't refuse shows up, so you have two. And you justify keeping
both because the parts alone are worth far more than you could get for the whole coach...
Yes, they are addictive.
The prices have come down so much, it's hard to resist. If I were to do it again though,
I'd put more money up front to get a better coach. Even with free labor, you simply can't
do the upgrades for the price. For what we've got in these two projects, we could have gotten
one *really* nice coach.

Tell me about!
I do not have any more space and would have to "dump" one if another "Offer I can't refuse" comes along.

$2500 for a "parts" coach in THIS market?
My "keeper" cost me $2000 and I drove it home... not without problems though.
