Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"

  I just saw a fairly new Southwind RV, maybe a 26-footer,  for sale in The
Dalles, Oregon.  This one was nice looking well cared for but without all
the fancy extra rooms that slide out, etc..Still, a "Substantial Vehicle"
$7k was the asking price.
  You can't find a decent Westie for that without being pretty
diligent..Guess the big RV era is done..gone the way of the dinosaurs...  I
suppose it would be difficult to fund a cross country trip at 5mpg when
diesel in Oregon is (today..) $5.10/gallon..
