1995 Serro Scotty Ram 3500 Cummins Turbo Diesel Auto
While at the Nat's, I was walking thru the car corral,
and in typical Mopar Nat's fashion, there was a 1993 Dodge Serro Scotty
Motor Home 24'. I went over, took a look and spoke to the owners.
We talked about how it pulled, fuel mileage, etc.
On Sunday, as we were pulling out of the Nat's, I spotted
the old Serro Scotty
Motorhome in the car corral and asked Sharleen if
she wanted to see it.

After a thorough look at the layout, Sharleen loved
the concept of it. It was a little too worn for us, but if we could find
a newer one with less usage and fewer miles, then we'd consider buying
it. We both decided this was the best way to travel to all the shows, races
and vacation
destinations we wanted to visit. The green light was
given and the hunt was on.
The Eleven hour trip home from the Nat's was a breeze.
The conversation
revolved around how great it would be if we owned
a Serro Scotty. And,
how much money we would be saving by not staying in
Hotels.
Once we got home, we fired up the internet and started
searching for a
Serro Scotty. we found the one we had seen at the
Nat's on line and another
one that was used up. We went over to E-Bay
and started our investigation.
At first glance, it look great!
At second glance, it looked to good to be true. Once
I called on the Serro
Scotty and spoke to the owner, Mr. D, I knew this
would be the one.
After a conversation with fellow NEHOA member and
Serro Scotty owner, David E, who gave me some helpful tips and advise regarding
purchasing a used motorhome, as well as what to be checking in the structural
integrity and components of the motorhome, I then called Mr. D
and sealed the deal. The next call was to the travel
agent, I needed a one
way ticket to Nebraska!
Mr. D and the Misses right before turning over the
keys for my 1400 mile trip back to CT.
At my first of not very many Fuel stops, I was followed
into the station
by a Dodge Pickup hauling a vintage slide-in with
a tag axle. He made
his way over and said, "I never knew Dodge made one
of these!". He took
down all the info and said, "I need to get me one
of these. Want to sell it?"!
I explained to the gentleman that I had just purchased
it and was on my way
home to start enjoying it. He wished me a safe trip
and we were both on our way.
1400 miles went quick. The Serro averaged 14.80 miles
to a gallon of fuel. Best was 15.50
and worst was 14.00 in tropical wind storm Luke.
