I had to admit. I was ready to reach for my wallet, but my muse (aka
'The Wife') taught
me better. ;)

Please, don't buy the RV.

If someone buys the RV, we will lose the dream, the poetry, nay, the sales pitch of a motivated seller.

Most people would simply slash the price, or pay you to drag a 30 year old RV off their property.

But Mark has gone above and beyond all of that to serenade us and share the beautiful, tragic story, of 2 tons of aging steel, moldering in his back yard, or perhaps, in a storage unit, without even the rain to patter upon her head.

Mark, I don't like AC/DC (although my wife does), but I salute you anyway.

I implore the rest of you, do not buy this RV. For that would remove the Muse from Mark's life. Without the inspiration of his Muse, we will no longer be able to enjoy the best used car sales pitch ever.

Thank you Mark for your beautiful, if sad tale. I look forward to the next installment.

(By the way, you might be able to make the "Best of Craigslist" with that story)
