The"inherited an RV" blues

Long story, but this thing is blighting my driveway. Now it could be yours. And it's already in Alaska! think of all the time and gas you'd save on your dream vacation.



2004 Class A Hurricane.

Ford V-10
26,000 miles
low time on generator
new batteries
dome track satellite system
awnings
washing machine
non smokers

want $30 but will cut pelicans a deal.

I think the best way to make this thing your friend is to rent it out.

Take out the generator (noise abatement), yank the plug wires, run an extension cord into your garage, hook up a sewage line into your home system, put a TV in it, and ask about $675 a month for the privilege of being your neighbor.

For an extra $100, you can rent out a Vespa or snowshoes, whichever is in season.

have already listened to suggestions about renting it out to the seasonal cannery workers.

don't want the sort of people who would live in a RV on my property.

Rent it to people attending Burning Man. Instant moneymaker.

I was just kidding, bro.

Or, in the spirit of your OP, you could open it up to "just Pelicans" like for a week or two at a time... aka "your dream vacation."

there's a limited window to sell this thing. but not many locals around with cash right now.


every summer this area, the Kenai peninsula, is overwhelmed with RVers on once in a lifetime dream vacations. figure my best bet is to attract one of them.

Any pelican is welcome to put up a tent in my back yard. But if you want something more bear resistant I'd reccomend buying the RV.

Too Funny! My friend bought one of these brand new - with the Ford V-10. He refers to it as the "Fossil Fuel Eliminator" - LOL...

Why are you so eager to get rid of it? Is there something wrong with it? Or you just won't use it?

Pelican vacation spot gets my vote!

I will take it. Let me send you a check for $20k and I will have my shipper show up to remove it. You just need to keep a few extra $k for yourself above your asking price - for the trouble - and my shipper will collect a cashiers check from you for the balance of $18k.
