It's now on Ebay, but not by Arbogast RV. And the seller is being very forthright about some of the discrepancies that the dealer was not so forthright about.

I sent a message to the person who is listing this on Ebay. The way he responded indicated that he bought it from the dealer while it was on consignment and was reselling it. Does not seem to be the dealer's salesman/owner who had it while it was at Arbogast RV

Considering what Bill NY said about the early Duramax engines, I'd say that 'hot potato' is a mild term. More like a 'Smokin' Hot Texas Chili Burrito' Mischief

Welcome to the Forums!

It would be worthwhile to review this thread concerning the coach's drivetrain. The engine is of a problem-filled vintage, and the various sellers have been evasive about the engine.

Any buyer of this coach should factor in the likelihood of - possibly chronic - major engine work.

You mean like getting rid of it entirely ! Make it disappear

Makes you wonder why someone would go to all the trouble and install an engine with known faults?
