Jeeeeezzzzze, this is tuff work.

Decided to go for a 93-97 Eurovan camper, but they are SO hard to find and SO
expensive.  So we are open to the original proposition again:  86-97 Camper.

Drove to Madras, OR (7hrs, one way) to look at a 91, was told it was beautiful,
straight, clean.  It was rusty, smelly, dirty, lousy brakes, lousy auto
transmission.

Looked at a 91 in Everett, was told it was in excellent condition with only
89,000 miles.  I ran a VIN check on it and the odometer had been turned back
100,000 miles.

Looked at a 97 EV in Fife:  90,000 miles, rusting, dirty, engine light remained
on while driving, engine was very rough, found papers showing it's already had
approx. $16,000 of work on it.  A true lemon, I think, and once a lemon always
a lemon, I fear.

So.  To recap:  looking for an *excellent* 86-97 Camper; auto transmission;
must be very clean/straight inside and outside (Zero Rust); camping equipment
needs to be in excellent condition. Power windows, locks, cruise would be nice.

Willing to travel a bit for the right vehicle.

Thanks,

Dale & Trish
