- Cousin_Eddie93ExplorerAlso if it has cabover, be sure to remove the bedding and check for moisture or any water damage underneith especially in the corners. Black mold is dead giveaway for water intrusion.
- OLYLENExplorerWould disagree have a 31' Mini Winni 2004 and it's a great size. Really is 32'. Just as above do a very good inspection or pay to have one done if your not versed on most all systems. If you do purchase I would install the 5 star tune to keep the trans from shifting at each little freeway overpass and have a little more power plus maybe a bit better fuel mileage.
LEN - dicknellenExplorer IIWe had a 2004 29B with no problems. Check it over close, and if you don't feel comfortable walk away or get someone to help you check it out. I feel 32 feet is to large for a class c if you want that big go for a class a. I now have a 2006 and I sure like the new transmission that ford put in starting with 2005. Dick
- larry_barnhartExplorerBecause of what Stacey posted I want to give a thought. We had a new AC installed and probably 2 winters later a noise was coming from the AC. This was in October so the AC was needed. I had the fridge doors changed to a left side hinge and the same man came that installed the AC. The comment was made about the noise and he tighten the 4 screws. So maybe this should be checked after a new AC has been replaced. Rubber gasket that compresses is the method to keep water on the outside.

Just becuse there was/are water stains doesn't make it a piece of junk. On my 2007 Winnebago 29B while driving in a terrible rain storm we started to get water stains around the a/c unit discharge in the ceiling. Once we stopped for the day I removed the a/c cover and found the 4 bolts holding the a/c unit to the roof were loose. I tightened them up and have been working on removing the stain for a while now. Nothing is wrong with the ceiling, no wood rot and no real problems, just the ceiling got wet. After that tightening no further water has made it in. We bought ours as a very low mileage used unit last year, it had 18,000 miles and was in excellent shape and still is, except for the slight stain of the ceiling.
True. But for a prospective buyer, water stains are an indicator to look VERY HARD for bigger problems. Not every owner is as conscientious as you were about fixing leaks. - stripitExplorerJust becuse there was/are water stains doesn't make it a piece of junk.
