Stacey and I are really excited about our most recent purchase. We just obtained our own motorhome. That's right, a house on wheels, and it's pretty incredible. I found an awesome deal on Craig's List. I looked at it one day, and bought it the next. I couldn't let this little gem slip away. Check it out below, and then I'll tell you more.
The "Parrothead" is a 1971 Dodge 24 foot motorhome. Some may call it old, but I call it classic. The previous owners were some amazing people from Post Falls, ID. When they got her, they completely refurbished her, rebuilt the engine, redid the interior walls, upgraded the electical and plumbing systems, installed a surround sound system, added a marine-grade water heater and pump, installed new passenger seats, and had a professional artist paint the parrot on the side. To be honest, the parrot was a major part of the appeal.
The day I purchased her, I immediately drove her over to Montana. She's going to be Stacey's home for the summer. I bought this before Stacey ever got a chance to see it. She was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and quality of this rig when I arrived. Driving this thing is a ton of fun. It's big, bulky, and takes a while to stop, but it's pure joy. I get the same feeling in this rig that I get on boats. I love boats. They have this very care-free quality about them. The Parrothead is basically a fun boat on wheels.
This rig also has everything on board that you need to survive. In the head, it's got a marine-style toilet and shower. In the kitchen, she's got two sinks, a 4-burner range, an over, a microwave, and a propane/electic refrigerator. For heat she's got 2 hydronic boat heaters and a propane furnace. For relaxing, she's got 4 very comfortable swivel chairs (with seatbelts) and a queen-size bed. For entertainment, she's got a TV, DVD player, Dobly Digital Surround Sound complete with an awesome sub-woofer, and satellite radio (so we can listen to Radio Margaritaville) which we already owned.
