Hi Matt
Just read your thread and love your enthusiasm for the Yank Tanks and your Revcon.
I was born in Nuremberg, lived in Augsburg as a military bratt. I remember traveling through the mountains of Austria as a kid on our way to watch an ice skating show on Halloween. Great childhood memories from there hope to return some day.
Keep it coming.

Hi Mike,
"Yank Tank". Never heard that expression before, but it' s great.
Very nice Resume, we have friends in Nürnberg and relatives in Augsburg which is not so far away from my hometown in Austria. When you are around so let me know, there is always a place in my Revcon (!) or house for members of this forum.

Description says: From an estate, drives, brakes, steers, everything is original except driver´s seat, all emblems, attachment parts are in good condition, original paint and interior, needs polishing, visible wear as a result of 48 years, left windshield is broken, also left wheel cover from which half of the part is missing, U.S. title and custom declaration are available, imported in 1991, never registered in Germany.
I don´t know how strict they are in the Netherlands, but it´s a lot of work to get an antique U.S. Motorhome street legal in Germany, especially for a historic registration. The whole electricity must be converted to 220 Volts and the U.S. propane heating system will have to go. The parts of the heating system must be certified and the vehicle has to pass a leak test every two years.
I think in this case you would have to spend another 25.000,-- Euros to get it on the streets.

Back from the Baltic Sea. I drove with my little 1997 GMC Safari Gulf Stream High Top.
The next time we are going to travel with our Revcon. Anyway, we did a little "Music Video" just for fun in Kolberg (Poland) and on the beaches nearby. Enjoy!
And what a coincidence! DM are on tour in Poland at the moment! Didn' t know that.

I cleaned and polished the interior of our Revcon (Wilsonart Laminate).
I have washed and polished the Revcon for 3 hours. Nice weekend activity. Looks good with the new foil trim. 
What a coincidence!
There is another 1979 for sale here in Germany and someone from Saxony is going to buy it today!

He lives only 15 minutes away from the parking spot of my Revcon and he has introduced me to a U.S. car repair shop in his town, which is able to take care of the pending repairs of my Revcon. My 66 year old mechanic, who has done a great job during the last three years, is starting to be overwhelmed with working on my Revcon and running his repair shop for other "normal" cars at the same time.
The people from the U.S. car repair shop, friends of the future owner, have got all the knowledge what you need to fullfill the needs of my motorhome. His Revcon is going to be there too.
Finally, I am not so lonesome anymore.
Two Revcons, both made in 1979, right in the neighbourhood, unbelieveable.
