Check date code on tires. They get expensive. Are they original??
Make sure the AquaHot system works. When was last time it was serviced?
I just serviced mine. Pulled burner, cleaned it, changed nozzle and installed new filter. I'll go out and check my tank for those screws but I don't believe they are there.
No screws in my plastic tank
Thanks very much for checking. The screws didn’t seem to be attaching anything and I thought maybe there was something inside the tank that they were holding, but I’m now starting to think that a pinhole formed and somebody drove a screw in it to stop it from leaking!!! Or the previous owner screwed something onto the tank, who knows what but removed it and had to put the screws back in to plug the holes!!!
Ya know, It didn’t really hit me until this very moment as to why it looked so out of place but subconsciously it seemed ”off”. But now I know that’s the reason, as I never saw anything attached to the screws and so they had no purpose being there to begin with but it didn’t hit me at the time . Which is why I guess my subconscious mind flagged it!
The tires are all new 2016 Goodyear’s with great tread
My other issue would be those goodyears. They are under investigation for their rv tires and lying about specs and blowouts with them. I think I would pass on that coach and look for another. Especially when they can't even replace batteries for a demo and slap one in.
I came across that on YouTube coincidentally a few weeks ago about the Goodyear tires watching unrelated videos, but from what I understand or remember I could be wrong, they were never approved for RV’s but for trailers or something like that but the issue was the speed. If you went over I think 60 miles an hour would blow apart. But I thought and again I could be wrong I will have DEFINITELY have to research now, that this was several years ago and not a recent thing like 2016?
