Things I learned (well, some I knew already but got a good reminder).
1) Rust never sleeps.
2) Rust must aid in the deterioration of aluminum.
3) Road worthy evidently has multiple meanings.
4) Stopping is more important than starting. (my dad taught me that at a young age)

After all that learning I am still Barthless.

That really stinks!!! head bang
Sorry I'm sorry, I have to ask. How far did you travel for this?

I'd also like to know where you saw it listed or how you found out about it.

consolation, the cost of finding out before the purchase is a lot less than what the cost would have been, sometimes it costs to learn

Truth be known, it ALWAYS costs something to truly learn. This guy will probably sell this motorhome to someone closer that will get it home and be able to work on it. It just wasn't ready for a 5 or 6 hour drive.

Does the driver seat always swivel?

No. It should stay in one position unless the lever is moved. The lever is held in a notch by a spring.

just to set the record straight jsloan was asked if he really wanted to drive that far for a 30 year old motorhome.it was a freak deal that happened im just glad it happened as close as it did. the rear brake line developed a pinhole in it and was spraying on the exhaust manifold. it was sold as is and i could of left it that way but i gave him his money back and we shook hands and said no hard feelings but i never lied to him or anything but if anyone wants to call me and express their feelings on feel free to call me at 33-858-7399 it is what it is a 30 year old motorhome the best i call tell all original motorhome

Stuff happens hatt64 and you sound like you did your best. I'm sure that the brakeline blowout wasn't something you could have seen before hand. You sound honorable to have given him his money back after the sale, seeing that it was sold in "As Is Condition" Thumbs Up

Just for clarification. Did you repair this issue yet and is it still for sale?
