So here is a story of persiverance ! I bought what was a nice motorhome that needed a few small details cleaned up up to be immaculate..I was quite happy with my purchase at the same time I knew I would'nt be able to work on it for probably six month"s, so off to storage it went .I was able to store it in my friends barn as I am building a car for him and applied needed pressure. That said the motorhome was tucked away and out of worry....According to all the meteorological studies we had a once every 500 years storm ( after a similar storm 5 years earlier. D#*+ braniacs) and as I watched local rivers rise, I could not convince my friend that It was ugly up river and it would catch him by surprise (he is 30 miles south and down river to many feed rivers) as I and many expected it did catch that region . So much so that I-5 in that area was closed due to flooding (unheard of ) for the first time in my life. It did catch my motorhome in safe storage and as it did get wet it did not get into the inside or the internals, however it delaminated the bottom of coach and forced me to abandon or fix..BECAUSE I am a hot rodder, I dug in !!!
