I think the wheels and tires are great. I like how it doesn't have all those garbage graphics a lot of them have. Congrats! It's a beauty....perfect size!

I think these are real cool. They appear simple but still have some nice features.

As a teenager....we had a 1976 Chieftain that we used as a people mover to Mammoth and to tailgate Ram Games. That shape holds memories for me.

... View attachment 381790

We had a Gen and AC. The gen ran but made no electricity. The ac only cooled the thing down if you took off the shroud. Back in the early 80's you just worked around it. :D

We used to go to Mammoth 2-3x a month summer and Winter. In a 26' Motor Home we would have like 12-14 people, always. Good times.

When Sony released the very 1st walkman I remember we all had headphones linked together...LMAO because with my Dads headers and loud mufflers all you could hear was that Dodge 440 Screaming it's guts out.

I really like this one. :thumbup:

Did you recoup any of your money from the FR3? What about the storage you added? Hopefully the manufacture helped out...

WENT ABOUT 60 MILES AND THE WHEEL FELL OFF:yikes:

seems the assembley line robot over tightened the wheel bearings and smoked about 1000 chassis....that making getting parts impossible
they had it over a month try'n to fix it... finalley got it back and traded it in on this one...

So, how do you feel about giving up space not having a slide? Friends have an older Winnebago and they like it. They have the wide body model.

I'm pretty sure that this one has a slide for that large dinette area.

It's interesting that Winnebago didn't install the power and cable outlet high so you could hide behind the tv. Looks like you're on your way semi custumizing this unit. Hopefully it will be what you like and keeping it for a while;);):D

I think it's awesome that you and Sue get to hang out with your sons and their ladies so much. Lisa and I love spending time with mine and his girl, nothing better.

Merry Christmas Ole' Boy. :)
