I have been on this forum for a couple of years, gathering great information by reading and asking questions. I have gone all over the place trying to decide what to buy. I bought a Class C last September 2013 and sold it March 2014 deciding it was not the rig for me. Since March I was really focussed on trailers to full time in and even bought a 2006 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 truck as my tow vehicle. Well a long story short, this past Monday I was on Craig's List looking for trailers or anything RV in my local area (25 miles) and an older Holiday Rambler had just been listed a couple of days. Instead of waiting for interior photos I asked the seller to come over and look at it. I had a feeling it would not last long and I also thought most might wait until this weekend to come and look at it.
Well the rig was even better in person than the photos. After looking at it for a couple of hours while it stormed, I left him a deposit with an agreement final payment would be made after the test drive. Tons of rain and backing it into a yard is delaying that process even though it is kept inside a portable garage.
Its a 1987 Holiday Rambler Presidential 33'. His dad bought it new and he bought it from his dad 8 years ago. Kids are off to college and he and his wife have other weekend interests now instead of rving. Maintenance updated on a regular basis, new filters on engine and generator. New "used" tires installed, just de-winterized, the ice maker was still pushing out pink ice cubes. The Chevy 454 idled and purred like a kitten. I plan to get it over to my house and then check things out with plans of hitting the road by June 15 until April 2015. I believe this 33'er will give me and the hounds more room to leave and still have the ability to boondock as I had planned to.
