Also thanks to you Photomike for your response. I will be sure to take it on a good roadtest before making a decision. Did you find that CC did the full refurbishment that they advertise they perform? I am not that mechanically inclined and really wouldn't know what to check for to determine whether the seals are good etc. Would it be a good idea to pay for someone to come and check it over? A previous post a while back said it was not necessary with CC (or maybe it was CA) because of their refurbishment process.
From what I found and what my mechanic found checking it a week or so after I got it home the mechanic part was all done, but the house part was lacking. I think the mechanic part was done as they do have to do an out of province inspection before selling it and they do warranty the vehicle part of it for 12 months and if that was not done according to what was suppose to be done that would be an issue. I also think the coach part is a different crew that looks after that. They even put a new rear bumper on it as there was a dent in the old one.
I did take it to my mechanic as soon as I bought it (actually bought it, tossed in some gear and spent a night at Chain Lakes then came home), not because anything stood out but I just wanted piece of mind and wanted to get anything wrong claimed on warranty ASAP. As I mentioned in other posts other than the alignment that was all he found (now that I think about it there was a bulb on the license plate burnt out as well). CC covers some things on the engine but not everything Coverage If you have a mechanic locally that you trust I would run it past him if you are not confident. For a couple hundred bucks you would have an experienced eye to set your mind at ease.
