Shhhh... I'm hunting Winebagos

Boy I hope the PC police don't come point out that this is somehow improper by assuming that I'm referring to hunting the "People of the Big Voice". In all truth, I'm looking for something with a Ford engine, class C and likely not a Winnie at all.  I asked my mechanic friend to come look at an RV last night with me and am feeling a little paralyzed by the process. I didn't expect this - there are so many different things to consider when choosing a place you are going to call home for the next who-knows-how-long. First, of course, is the mechanical stability and I have been blessed with meeting a great friend who is helping me determine this part of the puzzle. I have a little knowledge from my own past RV experiences, and have a fairly good intuitive sense about things like this, but it's great to have someone who really knows what all those little scary sounds really are, instead of my sometimes over-active imagination believing beyond a shadow of a doubt that the clunking noise is not the water pump going but the engine literally exploding out of the hood.

I seem to have the best luck with meeting the right people at the right times in my life. I guess that's my gift - attracting good folks. This day's update will be short - I need to get back to the hunting now. Shhhh...
