Hi,

You said "They rubberize the roof,...".

What the heck does THAT mean? I know they ARE NOT putting a new roof on it. No way!

If they made a statement like that, I would be extremely cautious of anything else they say.

The Coachmen Pursuit is a holdover line from the old Geogie Boy Motorhome Company, who was bought out by Coachmen. We looked at them back in 2003. They were OK, middle of the road quality, but that was about 10 years before this unit was made and this one was constructed under a different corporate structure. So, who knows?

What is it specifically you like about the rig? There are a LOT of rigs out there. If I were to buy today, I'd be looking for Newmar, Tiffin or Winnibago (in that order) over most other brands. (OK, a Prevost conversion is really on the top of the list, but THAT probably won't ever happen! LOL) So, take your time in your research. It WILL pay off.

ON EDIT: Just read your last post about waiting. Good. Take your time! :) Oh, and WORK ON YOUR HAGGLING SKILLS, or the RV Salespeople will take you for everything you've got!

Good Luck,

Ok, so my terminology may not be right, but seal the roof. Whatever they call it.
Our (now) bottom line is 55K so to find one of those top 3 is NOT that easy. We have been looking for months and in our neck of the woods, RV's are few and far between in our requirements. We want to stay under 30' (or very close). We are buying it to move and see the country. It's not going to be parked somewhere. I thought this would be fun and never thought it would be so difficult. I will however, keep looking. We actually looked at a 1999 Rexhall Vision V29 today, just because we were there. I have never heard of the brand. I liked the set up, but too many red flags went up.

Thank you all for your help.
