Any Coach House 98 B van owners out there
Just put a deposit on one. We think it will fill our needs nicely. Just wondering if any others with a similar van are out there? I know its old but it was cared for and protected from the elements. ...

I bought a 1997 Coach House RD 194 about 3 months ago. It had 35,800 orig miles and in generally good shape with 5 new tires and a generator with only 112 hours. In May, I drove to Denver from mid-Florida with my dog for company. Aside from tent camping as a teen with my family, this was the first time I've RV'd. LOVE IT!
An older vehicle of course comes with some drawbacks. On my return trip, I lost oil pressure resulting in a very labor intensive (AKA costly) replacement of a valve in the intake manifold. I was very lucky however, as it doesn't appeared to have caused any additional damage to the engine. I am having some trouble with water leaking in around the rear door and/or the taillights. Today I sealed around the lights with silicone but not certain how to handle the door. How difficult is it to replace the black rubber seal on the door?
The interior walls in the van are a foam-backed fabric adhered to some type of eighth-inch board. The fabric is waterstained in areas. Any suggestions on how it can be replaced? I would much rather have some type of solid surface wall rather than fabric.
I am new to the group & look forward to learning and sharing with you all.
