1996 Winnebago Rialta
I just got a second chance offer to purchase a 1996 Winnebago rialta with 90,000 miles- kept extremely Well with solar panels also
For 12K. Bad idea for full time
Living in something this old? I like it cause I'd want to do a bunch of modifications
Like a guy named tynan did for full time living. He too
Lives in a 1996 rialta. They've done a ton of routine matenence on it regularly and state it all the eBay description.
This is what it says:
1996 Winnebago Rialta. Is being sold only because of space. The Grandkids want to go with me-me and pawpaw on great trips so we are selling to get much larger rv. This RV is in great condition mechanically. All mechanical work has been done by certified mechanic shop. The items that has been worked on is listed below. Fully self-contained. We had 3 solar panels installed for when we parked off roading for lights with no gas to be used for generator. So easy to park anywhere in normal car spots and freshen up or rest in queen bed made for 2 comfortably that requires no assembly with storage underneath bed sharing space with large inverter for solar panels. This great rv has great 5 cylinder engine ( common Jetta engine) with 6 speed auto transmission for smooth performance and up to 22 mpg for great savings to spend on more trips. The under side of body has been coated with rhino liner to prevent rust. Has central plus the overhead air for shore power. Has generator that runs great when parked. The generator fuel line has to be placed in separate gas can or needs to be placed back on fuel pump. That is the only quirk the camper has. We could not find a rialta fuel pump but replaced fuel pump with a VWJetta new pump. Has cruise control,privacy shades, tow hitch 5 pin 2000 lb. Tow capacity, 3 way fridge, dual burner stove with microwave, great tires. This eurovan has manuals and is service ready for the next mileage trips. NEW:: wire and parts for trailer hitch, new brakes and calipers, ball joints, 2nd water pump for heater control valve, front end alignment, timing belt and tensioned with pulley, timing belt idler, water pump, pulley and fan belt idler and tensioner, radiator rodded cleaned with new fluids, cooling system checked and flushed, generator serviced bowl of carburetor cleaned, oil light sensor replaced, solar film window tinting, full tuneup with plugs filters and wires, belts, radiator cap and clamps, fuel tank removed and cleaned, ball joints, electric window motor, water tanks cleaned and winterized, overhead air serviced. The exterior is original and awning is great shape. It needs a simple light globe, the shower has crack in top right but does not hurt a thing, the roof has been resealed and windows and skylight has been sealed. This has let us take trips we would not have been able to afford otherwise to go on if this camper had not been so affordable to operate and very comfortable. Sleep in your own bed in places that there is no shelter and set under the stars and enjoy quite. Perfect for couple or single person who's job requires lots of travel. Also, has matching seat covers for uniformly looks. The seats are in good shape with a exception one of the seat bottoms is a different pattern but no holes or tears. We dont smoke nor have pets but cant be sure it has never had either but does not have the smell of a vehicle that has not been taken very good care of. Will be happy to answer any questions. This will sell for much less than we have invested So happy bidding and good luck. This auction is final and sold as is with receipts for the service done. We require a $500.00 deposit Through PayPal within 48 hours of auction ending for good faith and a email message as to pickup or plans for arrangement for delivery (buyer responsibility). Cash for final payment. Clear title presented to buyer after final payment received and cleared. Needs to be picked up within the month unless arraignments have been made. Serious bidders only...We reserve the right to pull auction until Sunday April 15th at 5 pm. We have found another unit to purchase. If little interested serious buyers we will pull and trade. Boy will they get a deal.
Thoughts?? A good deal for first rv purchase?
