Your Midas looks great. I just finished restoring a 1989 Fleetwood/Bounder Class A 31ft. Been a labor of love. It also has a 454 Chev. with a Quad Carb. Strong engine, but loves to drink gasoline. What mileage do you get. I thought I would get around 7 mpg. on our first shakedown trip from San Diego to Palm Springs. Round trip I got close to 6 mpg. I suppose that is to be expected.

I have the quad carb too, 6 mpg also. Be nice if the gas stays 1.51$ through the year, wouldn't be too bad going someplace down the road

I just remembered that Coachman changed the name to MRV in the 80's.

I have not seen one for a long time. It sounds like you got a fantastic deal.
Take care of your Midas, it will give you many years and miles of enjoyment. It's a Classic.
Thanks for sharing. Any chance of interior pics?? :)

In 1976 I bought a new Midas Class C. It was built in New Tazewell, TN. During the 70's the Midas plant was a large facility. Later Midas was sold and the New Tazewell plant was closed. The new owners moved the operations to Middlebury. Indiana. I think Coachman then bought Midas and done away with the name.

I used to see em all the time, real popular back in the day. Which company made them? Midas I guess
