Tom, When I saw the offer My first thought was wow. very great offer, then I thought too bad that she (craft99) is on the other side of the country it sure would have been nice when I bought my first RV if the PO had of walked me through everything and shown me how to use it and what to do at a campground. sort of the if I knew then what I know now thing.
I have never met Tom in person and have only read his comments on different threads, however even without the personal contact I would not hesitate to enter into a "business deal" with him.
I did follow his trip around all the baseball parks to see every major league game, that was what got me wanting to travel.
I have used some of his advise that he has given to others to help myself with different things on my RV. I have even gone so far as to use his words as my own when talking around the campfire about different topics. Thanks Tom.
Hope this works out for both of you, to me sounds like a win win.
And just in case my first reply to this thread sounded negative it was not meant to be. I just wanted to point out that water damage is always more severe then it looks. Of course I did learn a lot about my RV while rebuilding it. But like I tell my kids," you DON'T have to do all the same mistakes I did, you can learn from me."
This forum is a "been there done that" cornucopia that we ALL can learn from.
