Hi, any RV"s out there ? 
put up query on this site. Anyhow we have about 600 miles clocked up this year already and hope to be on the rd every weekend.We do mostly music festivals as we play a bit.By the way we have had the rv converted to run on recycled veg oil which is now showing a good saving and definitely takes the pain out of calling at the filling station.We have also changed half our light bulbs to led and done away with the on board generator in favour of solar panels, changes which we reccommend to any motorhomers. Maybe we will see you somewhere along the way. Will put up some pictures 
,call in if you see us !
! Just had a rather nifty spare tyre carrier made and have booked our summer trip to France, 3 sites and counting ...! We"re going to have to join the "solar power" guys soon with the weather the way it"s been 
!
We have Gulfstream Independance Nomad, before that, a National Dolphin. The Gulfstream is more modern tho" the National was of a better build quality and I"m in awe of the V10 as opposed to the V8 Vortec of the National, I do miss the V8 noise though...! 
.
We"ve only had this RV in NI for a few months as it used to reside at the family farm in England, and we would have taken it to shows and visited France from there. It"s going to be interesting using it here and seeing just where we can "fit" ,though, as usual, we can go almost anywhere with a little planning.
Hi Nomad1 / all, were at Kilbeggan last weekend and found absolutely no probs. at all with driving "down" there , although a slight hiccup in that the gas fitting for my lpg (engine) was the wrong fitting 
. I"ve a couple for mainland Europe but, they seem to use the same fitting as forklift/plant tanks, luckily another guy with a Dodge Ram arrived and I was able to borrow his Saw a couple of RVs at the show, one was a Gulfstream Sunvoyager rear pusher, tried to find the owner to no avail. If you have an interest in or have a US vehicle/ RV it"s definately a show to go to. The Craic was good , the weather fine and the welcome was warm and some of the cars/trucks were spectacular ! I"ll be there next year for sure.
I wish...... When she was converted they had to halve the petrol tank to fit the twin 100l tanks inbetween the rear chassis legs so, I think, space is very limited on ours. I"ve been wondering whether I can link the habitation tank to the chassis tanks, that"d give us another 100l.... Maybe there are safety reasons why not,or someone would have already done it, maybe they have... Cheers
Hi Blag,a classic RV, nice one. We"ll have to get an RV meet sometime for all of us over here, maybe she"ll be ready for Kilbeggan Show ? All the best.
When the date gets a bit closer I could call the guys at The Midwest American Car club and ask if it"s ok, I"d just need some idea of numbers.
remind again closer to the date hardly know with the kids what is on next week let alone next year

Last time it took place in May so I"ll see what"s happenning next spring.
Oh yeeees....... now that"s the sound of a real engine..!! It"ll sound soooo much better under a load too.. The RV we had before this one had the 8.1 Chevy Vortec engine, it was worth going through tunnels just for a listen ! Keep up the good work mate, I"d love to see her when you"re done. With regard to petrol v"s. diesel personally I"d keep the petrol and change to LPG , at least the option is there to go for 78p per litre as opposed being commited to deisel at £1.40+...... It"s something we thought long and hard about, and, it"s too late when prices have risen even further, if you can only run on the dear stuff When we pay 78p for lpg it actually means that our RV at 30ft long,with 3 slides and weighing 8.5 ton is doing about 22mpg, not bad really when compared to Euro motorhomes.
