My previous owner did not keep up with my maintenance and I was a little worse for the wear. When he drove me away from where I had languished, I wondered about him and if he would take good care of me. I soon learned that I was in very good hands.

I could tell he longed to escape from something, but just didn’t know what yet.

Stan took me to the nice folks at Quality RV after he purchased me from Halesford Harbour Marine & RV in Moneta, VA on July 15, 2020. Quality RV made sure that I was in tip top shape and I was ready to go. They checked my fluids, tires, roof, and all my appliances and gave me a clean bill of health. I felt very good and was ready to go, when Stan came at 5am on August 15, 2020 to start his adventure.
