Love this thread! We joined the Ex-Rental RV club a couple weeks ago. Picked up a former CA 2009 Majestic 28A. I bought it from a company that purchased directly from CA a year ago. The seller distributes kid's razor-type scooters and skate boards. They sent 5 of their employees on a 9,000 mile cross-country promotional trip for 30 days in the RV.
When the trip was completed they had no more need for it and had it sitting outside their offices. I found it when they posted it for sale on RVTrader.com.
It had 152,000 when they bought it from CA. When I got it, the mileage was 161,700. It was dirty inside and out and had a couple issues (broken driver's side mirror) they told me they'd fix before I purchased it. I offered $16,000 Cash AS IS. They accepted it. They can use the loss on their corporate taxes.
I knew I was taking a risk but I'd looked it over prior to my offer. I have owned another Class C in the past so knew what to watch out for. I also figured I was getting it at such a low price point I could afford to put some money into it. The low NADA value with that mileage is $32,000.
I paid a certified RV guy to go over it last week. I was happy when he said no serious issues. There was a 6 inch tear on the roof from a branch most likely. He's fixing that. Said rest of the roof in great condition. Onan 4000 generator runs rough so needs some TLC.
I have it at an alignment shop this weekend. Pulls to the right. The tires are like new though so I'm glad about that.
Anyone have an idea of what type of costs to expect to service the Onan 4000? I does start right up but runs rough. He did say the oil was low in it.
