I think I'll piggyback on this thread as I just purchased a 2006 Fleetwood Tioga 29V with 130,000 miles from El Monte RV in Santa Fe Springs for just over $20K. I have one week of ownership! Defects are water pump leaks, drive shaft has weight missing (higher speed vibration than out of balance wheel/tire), minor things like rubber grommet missing from stove, minor fading on sidewalls, etc. Tires are all 2012 in age. All defects will be repaired or replaced by El Monte. The only problem is that they are 95 miles away and at present CA gas prices, it would cost me over $100 to have repairs done at no charge! However, El Monte has agreed to fill my tank with gas to get back. That is FILL, not partial. Went to a certified scale to have weights done, added a Flojet portable macerator. Had a few things left over from previous coaches so not too much extra to buy. Will try to post as things happen, good or bad. Questions/advice welcome.
