Days 2 to 4 in LA

Still looking for the perfect motorhome. So far we had no luck with our inspections, quite a lot of 'optimistic' descriptions re. the state of the vans. One almost made it, 10 years old C - class Winnebago in excellent condition except a lot of delamination around the cab-over and on the drivers side panel of the house. Often you'll find dry rot behind the delaminated walls, so we decide to give that one a miss and keep looking. So far we have driven around 500 miles around town in LA.
Day 4 morning: from Jennifer we had heard about a dealer in Northills, so we go there to check an older A-class that he had on his website. It's the only on stock that's not above the $40,000 mark.  Once there we see a 17 year old Fleetwood Southwind, older than we had planned to buy, but what the heck, let's have a look. Open the door, enter and whow! That looks fantastic. The interior is in  pristine condition, better than everything else we have seen, even on rigs that were 10 years younger. Mileage is just 36,000, again a very low number. Engine starts up straight away, so does the generator, everything else works perfectly. New tires and the promise to fix everything that might come up before we take it over plus the impression of absolute trustworthiness is more than enough to convince us that this is the one. We bugger off to see another motorhome, but this is actually just to improve our position  in the following price negotiations.
Two hours later we are back, price negotiations take about 5 minutes, Jim Royal, the dealer's salesperson is just amazing. We bought a motorhome, yay, so on Friday we will be on our way to explore the States.
