91 Georgie Boy Cruise Aire 3

Question

My mother is looking at a 91 Georgie Boy cruise air III. She only has about 10k to spend and this fits in her budget. She is looking to full time and I'm trying to help her find the best rig for the money. The coach has a ford 460 and 4speed trans. It seems like a nice rig and I've looked at everything I can think of (tires, motor for leaks, plumbing, roof, appliances). Is there anything else in particular I should look at?  Are Georgie boys considered quality rigs?  Anything else I should be looking at instead given price constraints?

I owned a 94 georgie boy pursuit. It was an ok unit, I wouldn't say it was great. It only held 35 gallons of water, floor plan was very tight. I think fleetwood builds a way better product, and I have owned both.

Mine had the chevy chassis, I understand the ford is much better. Georgie boy has been out of business for years. Not that it means anything, you can still get parts. But I would look for something besides what you're looking at, if I were in your shoes.

The Pursuit was the entry level GBM while the Cruise Air was the top of the line. I had a Cruise Master with the 460 and we were very pleased with it for the price.

That Cruise Air will be at the top of the entry level MH's. Prior to 97-8 they were family made and built well, they sold to Coachman when things changed and not for the better.

If I was you I would keep looking for a Ford V10. They will be a much better motor then the 460. If you are going to go this route then things I would look out for are:

exhaust bolt on rear passenger side, they break off
Brakes, they tend to rust stuck
easy shifting, some can be pretty hard
rear sway bar bushings, they rot out

Besides checking all the normal stuff tires,leaks,appliances all working etc. Check for delaminations around driver and passenger windows around mirrors. Also check for exhaust manifold leaks and broken manifold bolts. Any Ford or Chevy of that vintage I would look for one with headers.

She should also have a $5,000 reserve fund for the inevitable problems that will come with a unit that is 24 years old-------------especially a unit that was near the bottom of the food chain when it was new.
