Hi,
I'm brand new to this group. Joined to find information on this particular coach and have been won over by the enthusiasm to be found everywhere in this site. Have struck a deal to buy this unit, but have no way to view except through pictures sent. Would it be too much trouble to go take a look at this coach and advise me whether it needs more than new tires and fluid changes before driving it home to New Orleans? Thanks so much, John, Lori, and the Boys

I'll call the guy this am and go look at it for you. When I talked to him yesterday, he said it needed 6 new tires because the ones on there are dry rotted. He also said that although the coach has 42000 miles on it, it supposedly has a 'new' crate engine in it that has only 10000 miles. Not sure why the original engine only lasted 32000 miles. What info do you want to know? Owner said it used to have a generator but not anymore, but he had bought one but not installed it. I can almost guarantee that anything made out of rubber would have to be replaced. You can send me a private message and I'll give you my phone # so you can call me. Jim
"The trim that holds the sun visors up fell during the cold spell we have been having.It shouldn't be a big deal to fit.I propped it up for the time being."
Usually a sign of leaks at front cap/roof/windshield junctions, rotting the wood where visors mount. Done right, headliner would need removal and wood replaced........
Certainly not a deal-breaker, just a heads-up.....Aluminum surface condition of "A" pillars usually provides a good history of what's been happening in that area.....The steel framing, aluminum skin and trapped moisture make for a good "battery"

Wow, what a difference in the photos !, I live 4 hours south of this coach, and even though it's smaller than I really wanted I was plannng to go check it out last Sunday, but he didn't reply until midweek, he did send me 25 photos, but there is not a single speck of rust visible in his photos, or any mention at all about rust when we spoke, Thanks for posting the true photos, saved me a trip.

Yeah, this thing just surfaced again. Just to start with, you would have to tear off all the lower skin and replace all the steel tubing. And for what? This guy now says his min is $4250. Jim
