Hooray. Nothin's ever simple, but I trust it will be all downhill from here. Congratulations on the truck's arrival.

Thanks for all of the kind words, gentlemen. Joe wrote me a very nice and detailed e-mail after getting home, thanking me profusely and also noting that the camper had received the always-important Wife Acceptance Certificate. They're looking forward to some good times with the camper and, as...

Buh-Bye . . . I found a good home for the Roamin’ Chariot. It went away yesterday afternoon. I’d normally count on the new owner to introduce himself, but since he already did, I doubt he’ll mind me sharing (hope I’m right): the camper went to Joe Jimenez, who told us of his hopes and plans...

As mentioned above, I'm working through the candidates now, but no news yet. Turns out I and won't know what's up until after the weekend. I'll be sure to post up then. (BTW: I'd also prefer e-mails over posting in this this thread if you do want to express your interest now.) And I'd like to...

Well, it was quite, what? . . . "disheartening?" and I'm sad there's no time machine to use to undo everything, as I really, really miss the XV-JP. Given the situation, though, I totally agree with you that passing it on to Paul was the best option, and I'm very pleased that he's now got it back...

OKAY, FOLKS . . . Hit the PAUSE button for a couple of days while I work with the prospective owners I've heard from so far to see what'll work for everyone. I'll be back here within a couple of days to either tell you the camper has a potential new home or that I'm still looking for an owner...

Geez, what a struggle. After 3,000 some posts, you'd think I knew how to do this. Apparently there's some issue with me using the "Go Advanced" and "Reply" techniques; I seemed to have this success (if you can call it that) using the "Quick Reply" box. In any event, sorry for the goofy layout...

CONTINUED . . . The vinyl floor is kind of ugly and stained. It's solid, though, so attaching twenty dollars' worth of peel-n-stick tile or carpet would solve that. As mentioned, much of the interior wood is really handsome, but the two cabinet doors would look better if refinished. The...

OKAY, THAT WORKED. HERE'S SOME MORE . . . . . . and looks pretty good to my mind on a truck of that vintage.) I also like the windows, both for their ventilation and the amount of light they let in. Photo But in spite of the fact that it cleaned up real nice and is pretty much ready to go...

Yeah, OK, color me confused. When I submitted the error message, it attached the photos that were supposed to be in the third section which didn't post. I'm losing patience, and my burrito is cold, but let's use the attached pictures in conjunction with the text, leaving it to the reader to...

Story continues . . . AARRGH! I'm at McDonald's with a different computer with a real keyboard using their wi-fi. I just spent half an hour typing up the last section, hit "Submit Reply" and got this, which is the same message I've gotten every time I tried it before: Internal Server...

I've got a problem with all connecting to the Portal forum. Don't know why, I've tried multiple computers and home networks. Other sites are fine. WTH? I'm sitting at McDonald's using their Wi-Fi, and me typing on a phone isn't pretty. Regardless, there's a list of issues with the RC I'm trying...

It's possible this Roamin' Chariot camper is nearly fifty years old: but it has almost certainly received a major renovation fairly recently. The upholstery on the cushions is little used, much of the wood on the interior is quite nice, and the blue vinylish fabric on the roof sides has...

For most of their time in business, Four Wheel Camper, Alaskan and others aluminum camper manufacturers competed with the Roamin’ Chariot Company of Spokane, WA. Though their campers had merit, Roamin’ Chariot seems not to have made it through the Great Recession. I have one, however, acquired a...

Thanks for joining us, Mike. That is indeed fine work you've done on your Cayenne, and lots of us would be delighted to have any more photos and descriptions if you're able to share them. :clapsmile

That is very nice work, Matthew, and very well laid out. I'm sure it will serve you well.

That's a nice sight to see. Congratulations, and here's hoping all goes well in round 2.

It might be worth sharing that the two RUF Fuso FM260s with the Marmon-Herrington conversions have a combination of tires and gearing that lets them cruise at 70 on level ground (assuming you needed to) while retaining very reasonable acceleration. The only time where they might be deemed "slow"...

Thanks for sharing the photos and information; I appreciate your effort. Good luck as you work through this interesting project.

Thanks. My error not to include the link in the post.
