He could have a garage sale with all the stuff in that coach. confusion

It might be fairly nice but you can't tell. Same year as mine, 1 ft longer. The tag axle is a good thing. 3 ACs??? No mention of odometer mileage. head bang

Real estate people call it "staging" to declutter, tidy up, and then maybe a few good photos would help. I am amazed by how poorly many of the coaches are presented.

I agree, and used vehicle sales in general are the same way. (I recently spent a LOT of time on Ebay/Craigslist ads, while shopping for a used Suburban.) Some vehicles are just presented horribly. A wash, wax, vacuum, and some decent photos (along with some details and basic grammar in the ad) can go a long way to make a vehicle/RV look like something that someone else might actually want to own!

I'd be very reluctant on this coach, unless the buyer has a considerable amount of time and money to potentially invest. It's clear that the seller doesn't know (or doesn't want to tell) much about it and has never (or rarely) used it to actually drive places.

Thanks Mark, I was too busy whining to copy the ad. I hope someone can get a better look at the coach, it may be OK for the price.

One caveat: needs air bags both tag axle and front. You can drive some without front air bags (a bit wobbly and low ride height) but DO NOT drive without air bags for the tag. The tag suspension could bottom and be damaged, with no load the tires will lock up and drag when braking, and the main drive axle will be overloaded, sharing the extra weight.

OTOH, the tag bags can be changed very easily. Goodyear 1R9-038 bags will fit right in, about $125 each.
