Not a fun decision you have to make, is it. I'm thinking that if Sherry doesn't object, first and foremost, and if you're seriously up to the task at hand, then, go for it. You're a handy fella. With help with the heavy stuff, like lifting the motor out and then putting it back in, I think you could accomplish anything. Just so the <br />' fun job ' doesn't become a burden and you end up hating deciding to tackle it. OR, you could sell it as is, take the hit and loss, and carry on with a new ride! Good luck with that decision. The final call is yours and Sherry's to make. We're just all here to support your decision no matter what.<br />love n' hugs from our wet north...just drizzling . . .Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-16220031305206693912018-09-25T17:00:03.538-04:002018-09-25T17:00:03.538-04:00Great feedback, all.

Perhaps the project, itself, would be pleasurable?<br /><br />Apples-to-oranges, yes. But Tom reminded me, he once rebuilt the engine in his '67 Corvette and had a ball doing so.Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-32843051268247599482018-09-25T11:53:21.027-04:002018-09-25T11:53:21.027-04:00I agree with what Ma said, about possibly trading ...I agree with what Ma said, about possibly trading in the present motor home and going with a newer one with less headaches. Son did that with his car this past year; knowing it had so many miles on it and knowing that repairs were going to be needed. Albeit a car payment, but at least a reliable vehicle and one that hopefully won't need anything major done for a long time. His 1993 Cadillac still sits in the driveway waiting for him to have money to repair it some day, but I'm thinking that will find a new home soon since some day never seems to come. Good luck with your decision. I would think if you could do the repairs yourself and you wanted to and had the time to do so and if you got in help, I'd say go for it, but not if you would upset Sherry too much about it.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-37283768024235457862018-09-25T08:22:46.816-04:002018-09-25T08:22:46.816-04:00So sorry to hear the bad news.

Maybe it would be better to put the money in that and sell the old one for what you could get or give it away. It has seen many miles and is getting older. Like my old car the repairs are nickel and dime-ing me to death. They all add up and over time I've come to realize I should have just put the money into a newer one. A day late and a dollar short for me. You know best what you need to do and whatever you do, it will be for the best.

Yall really need to think this one out. If you want to keep traveling, I’d suggest get another estimate and just pay to have a new motor installed. That way it will give you piece of mind on the road.<br />If your finished traveling, I think you could turn the coach into a park model and get a smaller one to make small road trips. <br /><br />I’m with Sherry about you fixing it yourself. Not because of your age but because you just do not need the headache. Sometimes its just easier to pay the price and get going. <br /><br />Off to work<br />Lisa<br /><br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-77373718190753767622018-09-25T01:27:51.910-04:002018-09-25T01:27:51.910-04:00your coach has had a good run, whatever you decide...your coach has had a good run, whatever you decide.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.com
