1992 sp?

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

Folks:
Our 1990SP36 is PRICELESS! While we probably could not get $70,000
in todays market, it is worth much, much more. It is our M-380
without any problems. Just looking at the construction of this bird
is enough to convince me that it is a jewell! The insulation, wiring
bundle, plumbing, levelers, cabinetry, chasis, interior,
instrumentation and on and on. I am convinced that the SP made from
1989-1992 is one of the BEST Birds ever built! I feel like our SP is
almost new. In fact when we pull in RV Parks someone always thinks it
is almost new. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to sell it, just
trying to let we BIRD owners know that we have GREAT machines
regardless of the FALLING prices. Hang on to them as you will not
find anything better! And, one more thing.....I agree that one should
pay a little more and buy a bird that is well taken care of and ready
to go instead of buying one that needs a lot of work......speaking
from experience with previous FC purchases, that "needing a little
work" can run into THOUSANDS OF $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
LOL(in poker it means lots of luck.)
Regards,
Hank
90SP36 with 41,000 miles
