Quick, let me go steal a motor home. Diesel you say?

seems like you could sell just a few pins and buy a very nice used diesel motorhome for around 20k?

Also, just come up with a package price number for all the pins and then at least I know what kind of diesel motorhome to go steal

What year, model ?

What a cool trade. Too bad I don't have one. I tried trading my Jag XFR last year for pins but no takers. GLWT.

Nice.

Yah, that's what I call "getting out of the hobby!"

Larry,

I have a 2001 Renegade motorhome I would consider trading for machines if you are looking for a great no frills motorhome. Take a minute and pull up Kibbi Renegade to see what they are all about. Best motorhome ever built as far as I am concerned. Mine is built on a Freightliner FL-70 chassis with a Cat 300 and Allison 6 speed automatic trans & air brakes. (32' overall with no slides - I hate slides - just places for a coach to leak!)

We took it on a 13,000 mile trip to the west coast & back to PA two years ago and it averaged 9+ MPG. The only money I spent on the coach other than fuel was an oil change. Ready to go anywhere you want to go without any major issues. I would jump in and take another 10,000 trip tomorrow just changing wiper blades & oil before I hit the road.

Nice thing is anyone will work on these because they are a regular truck. No need to go to a RV repair shop to get mechanic repairs. No CDL needed here in PA but I don't know about Florida.

Without walking out to look I think it has about 65,000 miles on it (I know under 70,000) so it is basically just getting broken in. Like any real truck it is good for at least 600,000 miles without needing any major work. Overall it looks great - no pets - no hard use - just overkill for me & my wife to travel over the past 10 or 11 years. We have been in 46 states and are now ready to hang close to home for a few years.

PM me if you think you might be interested in something like this and we can talk a little! Even if you are not interested in mine take a serious look at a Renegade before buying a normal coach - they are extremely heavy duty and well built. Not as fancy as some other coaches but I wouldn't buy anything but another Renegade if I was going to buy a coach again!

Visualizing this transaction blows my mind.

We have a 2006 Ford Crew Diesel. 4x 55k miles.

2007 Ragen Toyhauler... 25k miles. 24 length plus 5 so 29 ' ish.

Good luck finding something that fits your needs.

My first th

My first thought was "if someone has a motor home, what are the odds they have room for 24 pins?"

My first thought was how to fit 24 pins in a motorhome and then get the heck out of Dodge.

My dad has a Bounder(not sure if diesel tho). Hmm, wonder if I can twist his arm.....

Larry & I came close to making a deal but we were just a little to far apart on value of my RV to make it work. I figured I would reply here to bump Larry's post back to the top just in case anyone else has an RV and wants to try to make a deal with him.

Honestly I don't know if I am quite ready to let my Renegade go and I think Larry feels the same way about his pins but we tried.

Best of luck to you Larry!

PS - this wouldn't have been the craziest trade I ever made. 30 years ago I traded a decked out F-250 4x4 that was less than 2 years old for a Lionel train collection. That still would have been the craziest deal I had ever made!

Another bump for Larry and tossing this out there for anyone elso that might be as crazy as Larry & I are and read this post in the future. I have the 2001 Renegade talked about above in well above average condition I would consider trading for some pins plus or minus cash. I am looking to get $65,000 out of the Renegade (bottom line maybe a little less depending on the deal) which is about 10 to 15% below retail value on it based on my research. (Most similar rigs are bringing over $72,000 and I have seen them with asking prices as high as $85,000 with more miles than mine has).

I would want a deal in the east since I am located in PA but I would be willing to travel up to about 2000 miles for the right deal. I have no interest in selling the RV for cash since I really don't want or need to sell it so unless someone has something interesting to trade it isn't going anywhere. But if you are interested in owning one of the best & most heavy duty RV's ever built have at least $30,000 worth of machines you are no longer using (junk machines and parts also OK as long as I can get everything into a 26' rental truck). I am in the mood to make a deal on this RV for pins or parts. But I need close to $65,000 out of it with at least half being pins & the difference in cash.

I didn't want to start another post and I figured anyone with an interest in an RV would likely view this post anyway just to see how Larry made out so I figured I would give Larry a bump and also put this out there. Larry's collection sounds great but with travel cost we were just a few thousand apart from being able to make a deal work. So anyone else with an RV from talking with Larry he sounds like a great guy - see if you can make a deal with him and if you are crazy in the other direction and what an RV and have pins give me a try.

Any luck? I would take about 6 of them

I just want to say that I love this thread! This is SO cool. You guys are all nuts... And I love it. Huge trades like this are really interesting. Good luck to you all!

Not sure I'm ready to part with this beauty, but perhaps I could be persuaded...
