Title: New Clipper Owner
Post by: caninecaravan on January 12, 2012, 06:40:16 PM
First, Thanks to CanineCaravan for letting me borrow his account!  Looks like new users are temporarily disabled on the website, So I will need to wait to get an account of my own.

Just got a new to me Clipper, a 78 rear bath and side sofa, with a 440. We had a Toyota RV that we have outgrown with me and my wife and 2 kids. So I am now in a much different world with this monster! The inside is in great shape, this is why I bought it after seeing a lot of motorhomes in our price range ( cheap ) that were in bad shape. The bad, or not as good news is I have a lot of work to do on the mechanicals. The Carb is out for a rebuild, the brakes have air in them, the tires are shot, the gas smells bad, my fresh water pump doesn't work... the list is actually longer but I am  very happy, I didn't pay much for it and it is in such good shape I think I should be able to revive it in time for some spring camping. 

Will post my progress later.

New Clipper in SouthBay.
