Yes it is true! Wife damaged her wedding ring a few years ago and we got replacements made from meteorite material. Those irritated her skin so for Christmas I offered to get new rings; her answer, get me that 23 footer GMC we saw!

OK we did it. It is a good-looking original-condition 76 Coachman side bath with the rare (I am told) drop down bunk in the rear. As with any coach she has an initial punch list: inspect/service/replace brake & bearings, change ALL fluids, new tires/Eagle rims, already arranged for new upholstery (the stuff in there looked new but was ugly I have to admit), elbow grease and time to discover everything else!

So this new coach is to be hers. Mine, I am told, is the one in the driveway sitting idle for a few months awaiting repairs.

Got any pics to put on the photo site yet? Be sure and get the "owner" to pose with it for proper documentation!
