The middle child...has a project that is WAY over her head, but she's happy.

She is the proud owner of a real piece of junk RV...and couldn't be happier. Its running great, trans is fine, tires are good....has one tail light and the front seats are ok, but the rest is pure crap and needs to be gutted and redone. She's been wanting one of these for as long as I can remember. I saw where someone was selling this as a hunting cabin for cheap and let her know about it.....next thing I knew I was taking her to drive it to our house. I am so happy for her and terrified all at the same time.

I would have loved to have that vehicle when I was her age. I had to settle for a '69 Chevrolet telephone company van.
Ah, the memories.
I hope her husband/boyfriend owns a few oil wells. 🤣
Beats the crap out of my. Cousins van back in the ancient times but man the memories I have from it
Hers looks good in the photo I would have mostlikly bought also my wife has been hinting about wanting one to fix up and use on on occasion.
It is just soooo dang hard to find real S.H.A.G. carpet these days!! 😁
My niece bought one just like that a year ago. She and her boyfriend have been fixing it up for a year, and they are going to "take a cross country trip." Takes a long time to fix up that old RV.
Was she even born when The Ramones were popular?
Cool, that ought to keep her busy. Does she still have that Southern Hippy thing goin' on?
Camper looks good. If the trans is good and it runs good she can fix the rest. Good project.
Many life lessons are on the way to being learned.
The two of you can use it to pick up guns and save money on a motel...and spend the savings on gas.
That one is similar to our first RV. It was on a Dodge chassis and got an astounding 12 MPG. Ours needed some love that took much money and weeks of work before I felt it was safe enough to take on a trip. They have basically everything a house has, but the life span is much less due to the stresses of traveling.
On the plus side, they are a lot of fun and you don't have to worry about what happened in the bed last night, because you know.
I hope she has a lot of fun with it.

Looks great on the outside. If she got it cheap like you say, then sounds like a good deal to me. Hopefully in a couple years when she gets it all fixed up, we will have new "leadership" and she will actually be able to FILL the tank(s) 😁
Sort of....she works in an antique mall near where she lives, but has a booth in another area. She still does the "pop up" thing...which is really just a yard sale with a hipster name. She talked about gutting this thing and making it a rolling store. I told her that was a terrible idea. It should be used for fun, but she can take it to her pop up thing to have a shady spot and bathroom...plus, go on adventures if she fixes it up to be the RV it is meant to be.
I think the sales thing is not going to take off like she imagines....she isn't a very "self motivated" person and you really have to push yourself to be successful at that sort of thing.
Local guy here uses one to set up along with a canopy at various locations as a traveling used gun store. You see a lot of that with general yard sale type stuff along the roadways in eastern Kentucky.
spent my honeymoon in one of those at Arches National Park.
Turn it into a Taco Bus
Kasey just get a hold of GB and use it for advertising with some logo's .
Road Trip!
Well, I think when she is done she will have a lot to be proud of. Kudos to her. Hope it all goes well.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Best of luck to her. Life is for living…love to see the adventurous spirit!
Now all she needs is a youtube chanel.
Being attractive helps with getting hits on youtube. Looks like she has that covered.
That's cool...........
