[> [> Subject: Re: Reasonable Service Places/Prices Author: Henry Claeys [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07/ 7/ 03, 1:44am This is my second response to your long, but excellent, message. Although I am not rich, it is within my means and ability to perform "minor" repairs, oil changes, or spending $300 for an oil/lube job at a big truck stop. What really is going on with me is that I'm comparing travel trailer owenership with bird ownership. As long as I stay with a trailer that's around 32 feet long, I can pull it with a 3/4 ton van or pick up. Maintenance on the tow vehicle is reasonable, and, after all, the tow vehicle can be replaced, and the trailer has few parts to go wrong. Not only is this my first bird purchase, but it's my first crossing over to the motorhome world. I guess I'm out of my environment and accordingly nervous. Hopefully I'll hear from you again, but if I don't, I really want to thank you for your lenthy reply because I sense that it is right on point! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
