Jeff,

The root stimulator takes awhile to grab hold. Whoa!

Nice looking rig. Talk about a Big Trunk...

Production takes a few hundred years. Get your order in early!

I looked up and saw the patent on this.  To keep the weight down and eliminate delamination, he went for a single log, log cabin construction design, eliminating any need for small log mills and the forerunner of the Bouncer RV later renamed Bounder by his son in 1985.  Thus finding market demand for these sure to be excess old growth timber logs.  Pure genius from John C. Crean's dad with a degree in architecture from the Univ of California at Berkely. 

Thank you, Jimmy, pretty funny picture.  Sorry for making this all up.  I do credit and respect the real John Crean for coming up with the Class A design with basement storage and 100 gal fresh water storage, way back in 1985, when he mocked up the Bounder to be, he was a real genius.

Thank you to guys like Jimmy's early 1920's motor home risk taker almost 100 years ago.

Manual early slide-outs.  No house electric, hydraulic, or seal problems.  Sometimes simpler is better.  Yea, maybe not.  I like my U295.
