After researching RV's for several months I've concluded I want my own
Wanderlodge, both as a vehicle in which to travel, and also to
experiment with living (mostly) off the utility grid. There are a few
obstacles, and quite a few questions. I'd welcome your comments and
advice about the question and concerns I've listed below.
- thank you,
Craig - (early 80's) 31 or 33 FC , or TBD.

p.s. Ideal coach would be early 1981-1985 31, or 33, with a
broken head (I'd replace it with a composting toilet),
and set up for solar panels.

Questions:
* How hard is it to fix a broken waterline behind the shower. How
does one get to it.

* do the people with the non-turbo engines wish they had one ?

* how much difference is there between airbag suspension (1981 ++)
and the older spring models.

* how important (and in what situations) is an aux. brake retarder ?

Obstacles
(the big one!) I have no place to park it, and would be
full-timing. I have thus far found no places near where I live
that
would rent (very few RV parks). I'm not willing to live with the
uncertainty of street parking, having to move every 2 days and
wonder when I went off to work during the day if my home will
be towed. Any ideas about finding a parking place ?

Cost
I'm limited to the ebay price range for early 80's vehicles.
This makes it difficult to assess the condition of the coach,
and of course raises the risk of unafordable repairs. any
ideas on how to find out what I'd be buying, or signs about
what I should avoid ?
