1978 Beach-Craft Motor Home named Rosie

1978 Beach-Craft Motor Home named Rosie

Well the secret is out.

We were waiting until things smoothed over in other's lifes and we had a handle on

things before sharing the news, but it is out, due to my own making I think.

"Rosie" as we named her, from the fact that she kind of looks like Rosie on the

jetsons, was found on Craigslist, and although we went to see her, we were not planning

to buy her, but when we saw her, looked a detail, some other factors, and that I knocked

off near half the price, because it is fall, well needless to say, she ended up in the family.

Rosie is a 1978 Beach-Craft Motor home, 31 feet long, has a 6500 Onan Generator,

is built on a Dodge industrial truck frame, with a 440 engine, 727 Transmission.

The tires are near new, all 6 of them, and everything is tight.

She has a new refrigerator, with full freezer, two furnaces, water heater, full bathroom,

and kitchen, as well as sleeping for 6 comfortably. The layout is is with a huge dinette

in the rear, that makes into a king bed, then the kitchen on the right, with a counter

for two stools, up to the door, on the left, closet space, storage cabinets, fridge,

then the bathroom. Then on both sides are couches, one a click clack, one a conventional

camper pull out, then your up to the driving section. I replaced the seats with more comfy

one, the dash has no tears or anything, and it comes with a CB radio.

Rosie drives down the road close to like she did new. The inside is dated for the 70's,

but anyone would be hard pressed to find anything wrong, damaged etc. The outside

needs a good washing and possibly paint, which is easy. The roof will does not leak,

but we will reseal anyway as a precaution.

So if your driving around, and see Rosie either in South Portland, at Wal-Mart,

Sally's Beauty Supply, the commuter lots in Portland, or South Portland, say HI.

We could be parking her there, could be resting, enjoying the day,

Playing spoons, writing, working on things or who knows what.

She will be stored in Windham for the winter, unless I decide to head south.

Once it snows, she is off the road, no rust, so why start now.

Thats it for now....
