Dude.. yesterday i bought a 1985 Holiday Rambler. Drove it home 10 miles, experience was terrifying. Dry rot tires, leaking radiator fluid, power steering fluid . And it wasnt going oast 25 mph.. so big thumbs up on your 2 hour journey. How is the project coming along?

He he. Good job.

"We're morons!" It's definitely not "free". You will pay dearly to find a state to move to that will register and that junk RV, plus charge you the fair-market value use tax at the DMV. I estimate you will junk it after you realize it's going to cost you $25k to make it saleble or useable for self-contained mobile life.
