WELCOME, Bob, from newbie to newbie. Although I had a few small travel trailers years and years ago (and a couple Xplorer camper vans) Yale's Breakaway is my first real motorhome. have been on the site for many years and chipped in a few dollars for overhead, but never NEEDED the site as I do now. You are finding, as I have, that folks here have a wealth of knowledge and usually share it eagerly.
look forward to hearing more from you on the forums.

Welcome aboard.

What a great town name, Wampum! I'll bet Dick Dubbs knows where you are, he came from PA.

Enjoy your new baby and hope to see you at a get together. If you find yourself in western Florida, let us know - there are a bunch of us scattered about here.

I, too, am from Pennsylvania, a little town called Sewickley, named after an Indian tribe of the same name. I wonder if they called their form of currency 'wampum'? Sewickley is translated to mean 'sweet water', for the Ohio River where the tribe lived. Presumedly, the water was considerably better when the Sewickley Indians lived there than it is now. But if you think it might be a little questionable now, you should have seen it in the 40s. Except for some ugly catfish, nothing could live in it.

Welcome! We looked at your coach a lot when it was for sale. Everything about it looks great for 2 people. The more you drive it, use it, work on it, and camp in it, the more you'll like it. Here's a link for you [and everybody else who might not have it] to a great source for Onan info.

What a great town name, Wampum! I'll bet Dick Dubbs knows where you are, he came from PA.

Both Wampum and Sewickley are on the left side of the state I lived in the eastern part between Philly and the Poconos. Both East and West are nice places to be from ..."___________from".

Thanks everyone for the welcome & information. Jim i know were Sewickley is , and the small village of Wampum was named from an indian tribe , it supposedly means money . the beaver river runs beside it . we used to catch nothing but carp and catfish with BIG sores all over them . now we catch walleye, catfish , rock bass , small mouth bass , musky , northern pike , perch , etc,,,, just about every fresh water fish there is . it has cleaned up sooooo much since the mills shut down years ago . well i could talk about fishing for ever , enough rambling . Thanks again everyone for the VERY kind welcome . Bob
