any leverage on 2003 georgie boy from dealer?

I have a 2004 Landau 3525 TS which I bought new. Although it is considered an entry level class A, I have had many years of enjoyment out of it. As noted before, keeping up with the maintenance is the key to longevity. As far as the unit you are looking at, it does appear to have high mileage. I would be absolutely sure that maintenance is up to date. Also, check the tire dates. I suspect they may be the original (Goodyear G670) If they are in need of replacement, I would have the dealer replace them with a good quality tire at no cost to you. Negotiate for a better price, but be prepared to walk away.

Please keep 'em comming good and bad. It's alot of money and I want to make a good choice.
going to look at a 2004 four winds windsport next.

way too pricey.

Plenty of satisfied Georgie Boy owners. Sour grapes from some who have never seen one...
I had a 1990 GeorgieBoy Cruise Master, gas, for ten years with no real problems. (major expense was manifolds on Ford 460, which were eventually warrantied by Ford and Oshkosh) Liked it well enough to trade on my present 2000 GeorgieBoy DP, bought new in 2001. Chassis, engines, and appliances are shared with a range of motorhomes.
Agree it's important to check maintenance records and be certain everything operates as it should. Check tires, roof, awnings, etc. Mileage has two sides, if too low the rig has set and that may not be good, too high and it's worn out. At 8,000 miles a year, someone apparently enjoyed it enough to use it. The price does leave some room to haggle.

FWIW the ten year rule seems to be a figment of a very small segment of the RV community..Even sites that advertize that point reserve the right to enforce that rule...or not!!

I guess I will have to go home and tell the kids that we can no longer camp. It appears that the label on the front of the MH somehow makes the whole vehicle defective.

2bzy2c, which brands are we allowed to have fun in?

Coachmen bought out Georgie Boy a few year back. They dropped the name but kept some of the features. They were made in Edwardsburg, MI, near the border to Elkhart and there are many of them in the area there.

Don't take the comments to personally. But you have to give credit to those who have given their opinions. There is no underlying theme here. It just that you are buying an over priced, well used coach that does not have a good reputation. Search Tiffin, Winnebago etc for more comments. You will find a night and day difference as far as the comments go.

Go ahead and buy it. No one in here really cares what you do. But there are much better deals out there to be had.

Example - 2005 Fleetwood 31' with 9,000 miles for 26K (auction) Here

On Edit - The above unit sold for $30,875. $8,000 below your target vehicle, with only 9,000 miles.


Now you and the kids can go camping and have enough money left over to buy another car.

The label means nothing, but the reputation does. Now you know the reputation. You don't like it. Can't do much else for you.
Think about it.

We owned a 2003 Landau on a Workhorse chassis. I agree it wasn't "high end" but the box seemed to be assembled as well as any other coach we looked at. Biggest issues were w/the chassis. Actually, it had some neat features like the storage under the entry step, pefect place for shoes and a very easy to use sewer hook up are a couple that come to mind.

I like the sewer hookup. It makes for a quick dump. I have not seen this setup on any other MH. I have a 1996 GBM Swinger. I think the Landau replaced it. If the MH was in good condition and drove well and you liked it I would offer them low retail. I think when you are buying a 10 year or older MH the condition,how well it was maintained, mods like headers, suspension,etc are more important than the brand of MH.
