Location: Medford, OR | Due to life changes and possible career change plans, 850 is going up for adoption soon. I hate to see her go, but like I said I need to make some changes at home to better suite my current situation. 850 needs to go to a home where it's used more than 2-3 times a year. It should be used monthly, especially since it's ready to travel right now. There will be a big void in my life when it leaves the driveway, I've gotten really attached to it over the last 5-6 years I've owned it. It's truly the most unique vehicle I've ever owned. I just showed it at a 600 count car Show and Shine. People loved it. The amount of man hours I've spent working/tinkering on it is huge. The fact that I've accumulated so many spare parts, from the water pump, to the ignition system, hoses, belts, bearings, wheels/tires/tubes, etc...I tried to document stuff on this site throughout my ownership, but I'm not real good at keeping it current, or even doing the documentation well? lol....Anyone who can document EVERYTHING on a build or whatever, my hats off to them!! I carry enough tools and troubleshooting equipment to go the extra mile if I wanted, and so far on my journeys I haven't really needed any tools on the road because I take a lot of pride in my preventative maintenance and 850 is just smooth....It's a good late model FMC, perfect candidate for a modern running gear conversion, or ram her down the road with her smooth running 9k mile motor/tranny. I will post the add here when I get around to building one....Judging by (my opinion) on the current market value (whatever that is Lou! lol) of VERY FEW "for sale" FMC's across the country, I will price accordingly. I don't have Alcoa's Len... I plan on possibly attending the current rally in Oakridge this Fall, I may need to crash on somebodies couch? Stephen?? |

Location: Cottage Grove, OR | Dan, sorry to hear of your decision but I do understand it. Yes, you do need to be at the rally in September. If it sells before then, we will make some arrangement for you to be there. I have lots of firewood for the campfire so you do need to go ahead and make your reservation. If the coach sells, the new owner can use the reservation. |

Good luck with sale, inventory is low and it's summer time so you are in a good position for sale. |

And then you will register for the rally as it will mostly likely be your last opportunity to meet Bill Sitton and trade tales around a fire in the FMC Firebox. And you know how great that is from your experience last year. Bill is in space 68 and you can snag space 67 at this point before someone else gets it! |

Location: Medford, OR | #850 has a new home on the Oregon coast. The new owner absolutely loves the coach. He is in the process of building a huge RV shop/garage. It went to a good home. |

For me, this is good and bad news: I know what it feels like to finally sell something you need to loose, but, who knows how long, if ever, till we get to see you at a Rally again?
Till we meet again - good luck my Friend!
