1995 Bounder and What to offer on it
We have a lead on a 1995 Bounder 34 J. It has 48,000 miles on it. It's been kept in a barn when not in use since the current owners bought it in 2005. It appears to be immaculate as far as I can see b...

You want to make sure that you get all steel sidewall tires. These are either Michelin RIB tires, or Goodyear tires. Chances are that you will need to call a local tire dealer, and order them. I bought my last set of Michelin's at Wal Mart, and they took a week to arrive at the store. But you need to check to see if Wal Mart can install a 19.5" tire, that is found on the GM's.
I had Michelin RIB tires, and replaced the front pair with Goodyear all steel tire, and the back set I bought some Goodyear Wrangler tires. Huge mistake, because those are polyester sidewall tires, and more flexible than the steel sidewall tires that I had to buy 500 miles later, to get rid of the flex in the rear tires.
I found out at a FMCA show, where there was a Goodyear rep, and he showed me the difference. It turned out to be a fairly expensive mistake, but I was able to sell the tires with 500 miles on them to a friend for $100 each.
I have a 1997 Bounder on a Ford chassis. So I have 16" rims, while the GM will have 19.5" rims.
At least you will have tires that will be good for 30,000+ miles or 7 more years. Also let the tire dealer know that you will not accept tires over 1 year since date of manufacture. No need to lose a year of service because he found some old tires in the back of a warehouse.
I only have one A/C because I am only 30' long. I don't recall if your model has slides or not? The non-slide models don't sell for a lot of money anymore. I wanted a non-slide model, because they where still working the bugs out of the slide system back in the mid-90's. I think they had it solved by 1996, but did not want to chance it. . .
