Re: RV\'s What is the Attraction?

Thanks guys. I think that's what I'll do. I'll rent one for a couple of weeks this fall, pack up and take off.

All I have to do is think of someplace I really want to go ... but the weather is cooler at home, I can get more work done with the tractor and there is no shortage of jobs that need doing ........

Yes, the renault engine is a bit "weak" to put it mildly. Yes, they can be converted to small GM (and other engines). What impressed me about the LeSharo is the very intelligent design. There was a lot of brain power put into them. The two you mentioned in your post are, in essence, copies of the euro van conversions (like the LeSharo/Rialta). All, of course, are decended from the VW hippy bus of the 60s.

LeSharos can be had for $5k with 20k miles on them. With care, these engines should go 70k-80k miles though before rebuild. The shop manuals are very good. Problem is parts. You have to drive lesuirely.

I am reminded of a comment I recall from Jim Brown (a multihull sailboat designer - I built a multihull in the 70s, sailed up & down river, etc.) responding to people who objected that his designs didn't have as much room as some others. He said a boat is not a house. It is designed to move over water. Same thing holds true about an RV. Is it a house? If so, the Lesharo (and others) are poor houses. Is it mainly a vehicle with the ability to stay in over nite?
