It’s a 2015 and that year Winnebago had some very cool colors, Red, Orange, Lime and a blue that would have matched the Raptor nicely
The color is really easy to find at the RV Park lol
The sun has taken a toll on it though. I need to wax it again

Great pics as usual, thx for sharing. Breaks my heart what is happening out West, Drought is killing stuff left and right, New Mexico is burning up, Water running low all across the West, except Yellowstone now, the Yellowstone river levels are highest in 100 years and flooding Montana and the park. Just sad. Be careful out there.

Drought. Worst one in 700 years. That one lasted 50 years. It brought down the Chacoan civilization. The biggest problem today is that the rocket surgeons in our gummint were clever when they divided up the water from the Colorado River. Every state in the compact was promised a certain number of acre-feet per year, based on average flows. What could possibly go wrong? Now it's a Donnybrook over the water because LA was using the excess that the others were not using from their allotments. Now that the other states are using most of their allotments and the river is running low to boot, everyone is crying. Why did they not allocate water on a percentage basis? I have no idea other than our government seems to choose the worst possible way to approach every task. I'd guess that follow the money might lead you to interesting places where you might find some bulging bureaucratic pockets....

Follow This- My Best Friend works for the Capital Police in Las Vegas. He gets to sit in on the Hearings with these MFING MORONS.
Riddle Me This Batman….
Last year at a hearing on this very subject, a Hydrologist’s presentation showed all these esteemed legislators, that AZ HAD FNING DUMPED SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND OR FNING MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF OUR LIFE BLOOD INTO MFING EMPTY FIELDS, FLOODING THEM, So they wouldn’t loose their
WATER ALLOCATIONS!!!
Just like any GOVERMENT BUDGET-USE IT OR LOOSE IT!!
I’ve seen it in the Military, the Police and Fire Department, the School District. Use ALL OF YOUR BUDGET or we will punish you next year for being fiscally responsible!
Why would your Government water allocations be any different??
Someone should have gone to FNING JAIL over this, or AZ should loose the amount they waisted!!
You never heard a MFing peep about it anywhere and I’m sure the documents have been shredded!
Yet they will give me a citation for watering on Sunday???
No Morals, No Conscience, No Consequences, the Moto of almost every government agency

Pretty sad to see. My bro in law has a house boat there and hasn't taken it out in 2 years due to the low water levels there.
