I spent a few hours yesterday with this unit. Went through all the systems and tested everything out. The unit has a handful of small cosmetic issues, but it 100% functional with exception to the bath fan electric cover. Owner has parts coming in this week to replace it. Roof in good shape including all sealant. No signs of water intrusion in the coach.

After yesterday I have a few questions.

1. Owner says he drives with exhaust brake on 90% of the time. I tried the exhaust brake during test drive. Worked fine but I couldn't wrap my head around why you would drive with it on in town???

2. Owner says he keeps his black tank full of water when not in use to minimize smells etc. Anyone do that?

3. Owner is owner number 2. Owner number 1 told him not to use the slide locks, particularly when slides are in. Guy told him they are probe to failure. Any input on this?

Thanks for your input

I tried the exhaust brake, both ways when we first got ours and since then, it's never been off. Not to worry, they'll get plenty of exercise to prevent glazing, while in traffic, with the idiots that we have on the road, these days. I've never even heard of one filling the black tank with water. As for the slides, we've always depended on the powergear electric brake and have never experienced a problem. We've never even had slide locks, per say.
