Thanks everyone for your responses to my questions.. I guess it's going to come down to having to go look at it. That's the only way of determining if this is a good rig or not. I'll just have to make a trip and get it done. Maybe I'll offer him $18000 cash?? OH, and what I mean by there is more room with the slide in while traveling is there are no walls in the way with a non-slide unit. I would prefer a slide but oh well.. I love these types of RV's as I used to drive motor coach buses and this is as close to driving one as I'll probably ever do again. Heavy frame great engine and chassis.
