Just rolled over 70,000 miles. Since this is a 1990 Grand Villa that's only 2,500 miles per year. 2 PO owners not much for using it.Stored inside all it's life so looking stellar. Done lots of upgrades infrastructuraly but have decided to keep the flavor of the coach retro. Everyone who sees it wherever we are love it. Especially the sound of that Detroit Diesel. Even more under load. When we pulled out of Rivers Edge RV Park in Brookings OR on that steep, long driveway out, 2100 RPM turbo was singing and you could hear the grinder ramming air in. Lori looked out the window down into the park and everyone outside was looking our way . Sweet! We plan on using it a lot more than it has been. Just finished our longest trip yet ( 24 days ) and been out about 40 days this year and lots more to come.

Just over 100,000 miles on the ODO but it was broken for a while with the PO. Gallons used times the DDEC MPG total another 5K or so. No coach bucks in almost 9 years. Biggest was a couple of airbags and the replacement of the three engine batteries. Have done a lot of optional improvements including solar. Think we were second of solar Foretravel after the great Paul Smith. Sure miss his posts. Getting ready to paint the roof, install a propane fired block heater and install day/night blinds. Still looking for a rear engine door.

I'm installing our new 4K TV tonight. A 49 inch TCL will replace a Samsung 40 inch. Costco has the 49" 4K TCL smart TV with Roku, HDR, etc. for $299. A real steal.

1993 U300, 36 feet, Detroit 6V-92TA with Jake brake, Four 285 watt 36 volt Yingli panels on the roof, Midnite 150 controller and a 2005 Toyota RAV4 AWD 5 speed for a toad.

We just returned from a short trip to Virginia, the odometer rolled past 132,000 just before we returned home. That's a little over 45,000 in the past five years. The old gal has taken us to a lot of awesome places in those 45K miles!
