[Farmall] Re: Now it's me that's dreaming (now camping)

[George Willer]

There's one in Ohio that I know of... well actually two.  The dealer has
another one.  When the Cub or golf cart is unloaded, the compartment becomes
a large walk-in closet/dressing room.  The F-450 chassis is heavy enough to
also pull a trailer with a couple small tractors on it... partly because the
rear axle has been moved back.  This eliminates a problem with the long
overhang I've had with other motorhomes.

We're just getting acquainted... It's been to four shows so far.
