Auction for the boat ends soon, trying to bid it up, I am the high bidder, I don't care, if I end up with it again the money is a wash except for the fees.

Don't feel bad, the market is soft right now on luxury items. I was going to take the time to finish the bus and sell it, but the market is too soft, so I'm going to strip the solar out of it, pull the dishwasher and maybe the washer dryer, and wash it and dump it. If I can't get $15k for it, then I'll pull the Cat 3126 and drivetrain, strip the rest of the new stuff (ducted minisplit, new 12v refer and anything else I want) and junk the rest. Just like boats, motorhomes / campers are a money pit you'll always lose on.

Agreed. We decided to let it go rather than sell it ourselves, I just hope a family gets it and enjoys it. We haven't used it in almost 3 years.
You guys are hitting us with a ton of truth! My old well craft runabout was stolen before I was done with it, I was compensated fairly, then months later they recovered it. I made the 2nd dumbest decision of my life buying it back for salvage. Put a couple grand back into it then sold it to a work buddy and lost even more money. I knew that adige but didn't let it penetrate my thick head. Boat free ever since!
Why not just park it and let it sit just in case you and Lisa ever decide to take a road trip?

Busy day, plowed some fertilizer into the ground with the toy Sears tractor.
So planting and gardening chores are almost ready to begin in earnest.
Then one of the neighbors young steers decided the tufts of fresh green grass on my side of the fence looked really tasty.
It jumped over the hot-wire into my yard.
The ensuing bumbling attempts at roping it were quite comical.
Three on horses and three on foot could not get it roped.
I actually got a rope on it before anyone else but was not sitting a horse and could not get it handed off quickly enough.
Eventually more neighbors and horses came onto the scene.
They finally got two ropes around the horns and were able to drag it back home.
I had been asking about getting some fertilizer, got a bit here and there, but not where I wanted it.
Neighbors are good sports, they gifted me some steaks and pork.
Taller fencing coming soon I think.

After living in it for 1 year and 9 months, she doesn't want to look at it anymore.
I can see that. Tough to take a bath on the RV, but cutting and running is great for your stress level. You guys really got your money's worth out of it by the use.

If you don't use an RV or boat they are not worth having. When we are done with our current RV it will be slap worn out.
Went to a condo today at Bermuda Bay, 2022 that the blower wouldn’t come on so diagnosed a bad blower control board, nearest board was in N Clwt but the counter gal here in St Pete said she could have Door Dash have it there in less than 1 hour for $25 So I said lets do it, 1.5 hrs later I had my Warranty part so head back to S St Pet, install the board and the motor started but at about 1/4 of rpm’s, Bad Motor

Doesn't happen too often that ex's can be civil. I know I can't be, but Lisa tries to keep the peace as much as possible. Last time I saw my ex she "told" me I needed to do something and I wasn't in the least bit polite. I told my ex to go fuck herself, and my eldest daughter even giggled and I said, "We ain't married anymore and you ain't gettin' jack shit from me." My ex asked my daughter what's so funny and my daughter said that I was the only one who wouldn't put up with her bullshit in any way. I feel bad for my daughter too, but she tries to keep the peace with her mother, but my ex is a bitch plain and simple.
Only time I hear from my ex is when she wants me to give $$ towards something, I wanted to take my 5yr old Gdaughter, 7yr old Gson and my daughter out to dinner, had to take my EX and my ex’s husbands daughters half black son along, what an afternoon/evening that was
