I am having a hard time deciding whether to sell the unit we have and get 
another one, maybe a little newer, and a little bigger.  Then you guys start 
all this discussion about the quality of theunits and here I am holding a 
1966. 26 footer.
The only discouraging thing to me is there is so little time for me to work 
on stuff as a working girl ;0 
and my dear husband just doesnt' have much time, either.  The floor in the 
bathroom needs to be redone -- previous owner must've had a flood, I am 
guessing because it was sold to us by their heirs.  They also replaced the 
toilet which I am guessing was the culprit.  But I would replace THAT toilet 
now.  It just is a funny size or something and the freshwater intake is 
leaking.  We flush it with a big container of water and keep the water supply 
to it off.  Am wondering after following/lurking on all the conversation if 
replacing the lines with the pex ? might cure this problem.
Also, the hot H20 heater needs to be replaced; it was the original so I guess 
it's time.  The fridge needs to be replaced, but I am having trouble finding 
one that will fit.  And plus, the inside of the frige itself is so darn cute 
I hate to take it out. It has all those neat colored racks in the door; not a 
one of them is broken.  I would also replace some flooring in front of the 
door (typical oregon weather, I would guess) -- it has been 25+years in the 
valley here.  Probably a piece in front of the sink, too.  
So there you go.  Any ideas?  Should I just sell it as-is which is still 
pretty darn good compared to others I looked at before buying this one or fix 
it up and keep it?  I love looking at it.  I love the inside ; all the things 
are original and in good shape, even the upholstery and the curtains, except 
a few stains.  Even with the various problems it makes me sad to think of 
parting with it; but will my efforts at repairs only make things worse? and 
should I sell it to someone who is a pro and buy one that doesn't need 
anything?  
Man I need a margarita.
