That is 3 to 4 hours of towing. They stayed in it for another few years and at the time they sold it they got a price higher than what they had paid for it. L.

How could that be so long ago? I remember my older cousin when I was a kid got married and they had a "mobile home" and I thought that was the most romantic place to live as a newly wed. I have no idea why I thought that but I did and I wanted one someday. I think I thought you could really just pick up and go whenever you wanted....like every day.
