I have found what I think to be an awesome deal on a 1993 34′ Dolphin Diesel. I’m thinking about picking her up next month when I go home on R&R. Is the Dolphin a unit to start off with for a young family? Is it a comfortable unit? Is it easy to work on if you are mechanically inclined? Any quirks about your unit that you’d prefer not to have to deal with? How is the steering with the front axle set back the way it is?
Please consider these questions when you have

So I guess by now you are wondering what the point of this post is? I have been thinking lately about what I would like to change on the Old Girl and the stuff I would never change. My situation is fairly unique I guess and I have specific from my recreational vehicle. I vary seldom have guests so sleeping space is not an issue.

It started with a semi-conscious awareness of maybe something crawling on me. I brushed at it and went back to sleep. Then again; and my sleep was turning more into wakefulness; I just wasn’t convinced yet. Then again and I was fully awake and I new something was crawling on me! It 5:15am and I was up for the day.

I pulled up the mattress at the head of the bed and there the little boogers were –dozens of them. I went and got the all purpose bug spray and murdered that crowd with no mercy shown.

In 2006, my brother who owns the excavation business where I work took my advice and said he was ready to buy an RV. He was tired of living in a motel with his DW and all the hassles that entailed. Sometimes the jobsite was 30 minutes from the motel, he had the fuel stolen out of a tank in the bed of his truck, you had to eat out all the time, he didn’t

It is still muddy here and in case you don’t know it, bulldozers and sticky clay mud don’t mix too well. I have been reading articles all afternoon about full time RV living. I have to say that the internet is a huge source of information and I could not do without it but it is also a huge source of mis-information as well. Consider this great (yeah right) article about how cheap fulltiming can
