You have a nice rig there.
The Corsair was the sister brand to the Citation. Built in Oliver BC, regrettably out of business now. Very well built units. My cousin in Kelowna has a Corsair.
We planned this as our retirement rig. As the kids grew up, we went through the usual units: tent trailer then hard side pop up then travel trailer then fifth wheel.
We bought this rig as "new" inventory, but one year old (on the lot). We knew that General Coach was already closing down, but we were not really concerned as the dealer promised to honor the warranty (and he did). We had really taken our time (years) in picking this unit. We toured the factory as well and interviewed (interrogated) the plant manager.
It has proven to be a good choice.
Cheers. We are visiting our first grand baby in Vernon BC (with the rig) right now. +30 C, blue sky, God I love BC.
I just noticed your response now. Yes, we toured the General Coach factory in 2005 and bought a new Citation Supreme 28.5 RKS soon after. We loved that trailer and it was completely trouble free in the ten years we owned it. We now have a 5 year old boy and found the 28.5 was getting a bit small for us. We always loved the 34.5 CKTS model and finally found one in good condition last winter for a pretty good price. We had to travel to Edmonton for it but it was well worth it because we absolutely love the unit. It is very well made and has much more room in it. We plan on keeping it for a long time.
Congratulations on the first grand baby and we love Vernon as well!
