Health and the Bluebird?

[bubblerboy64]

Dave, My best advice would be not to expect to do too much "work" on
the MH. That might be too stressful and difficult but if you can
drive it with confidence then go for it. But it does depend on what
you like to do and what you find relaxing. Seems to me that if you
take your time and enjoy the work maybe simple repairs would be good
for you. I wouldn't buy a coach that you need to pull the motor and
transmission before you get started but I would agree to go for it
perhaps with the thought that running this past the ole MD might not
be a bad first step.
