Still on the road

 Despite qualifying as an antique auto in most jurisdictions, this RV is still on the road today and has made it all the way from Saskatchewan to Nova Scotia. 

The "Bounder" name wasn't a clue as to its origin, but fortunately a "builder's plate" mounted on the side gave me all the information I could need.

It is a Fleetwood, Model K, built in Riverside, California in August 1989. I suspect there aren't many 33 year old RVs still on the road - and in what appears to be its original paint. (Fleetwood apparently had a copyright on the paint scheme!) 


There are a few signs of wear here and there, but still, it is in remarkable condition. I wonder how long some of the current types will remain in service in view of their "gas guzzling" habits, such as this late model Chev / Citation Supreme.

 or this CanaDream / Ford E-350:
