Motorhome

Bought this Motorhome a few months ago on Craig's list for $500 bucks. 454 runs like it's new, the thing was sitting in a field and the plates were ten years old. They said it wouldn't start, so I brought a battery and a starter, my tools and a lot of 3/8 fuel line. Hint "always bring fuel line when you buy an old truck".

It took me 15 minutes and I had it running and drove it home 40 miles. The air works, the heater works, the hot water heater,stove and water pump all work. This beautiful Motorhome was a STEAL!! After I got it home I found the 75 gallon fuel tank in the rear of the thing was FULL of fuel. I had to pump it out through a heavy duty diesel fuel filter system to remove the water and treated it with gas treatment and it's good to go.

What do you guys think?
