I'm a bit confused. Why do so many people hope he gets the money? From my perspective, putting a ton of money into a vehicle to "upgrade" it is just foolish. Expecting someone else to pay for it is wishful thinking. Let such folks suffer the consequences of their mistakes, and for sure, I'm not going to encourage them. Proper maintenance and restoration of components needed is another matter. Of course, at some point, all our campers are going to be either show vehicles or crushed, as we can only take them so far as serviceable vehicles. Too bad. mcneely
