Default vintage 1991 TM 23 on the road again

well we did the same,thing kinda,found a sweet 91 tm 23 in a garage, got it about 5 wks or so ago. took her home,cleaned up and started going over,only one water leak to fix and all worked well, then power to it,a few bulbs later all lights was working,well it was time for gas, stove and oven lit right up, off to the water heater, wow lit also,well then it was time for ref. yup you right , no luck,put on list,
we had a return trip planned to the kentucky speedway, first of oct,so we decided to get to work and make the ole girl roadworthy.repacked bearings, new tires (14 inch on it) and take it on the trip and decide to keep her or the thor hybrid we have used last two seasons, not first pony ride with a tm, a few yrs back had a 87 or 88 tm 28, just did not know what i had and sold because i really did not understand it,ok back to the trip,pulled out and made a safe trip to the speedway,made it on half the gas as same trip in july pulling 21 ft thor cup with same tv, wow, all was well at track, found project #2, furance comes on ,but not lighting, then we went to leave and was getting rdy to dump toilet, yup flange seal leaking, #3 for list,
made our way back to cumberland gap np where we meet (scrubjaysnest)loved the park,and then on back home,, loved the space and so many things about it, it stays and will sell the other,
just so all knows, the info we got here was a factor in keeping the ole girl and best 12 dollers ever spent ,so hope to see others on the road going back out next month after a few more repairs.
