My story, starting a construction project out of state, rented a car, stop to take a look at another business opportunity and Bullhead city Arizona and found an ad for an RV that seemed way underpriced. I responded to the ad and found out that they put the wrong picture of a wrong coach. I went to look at it anyway on a Wednesday morning and by that Wednesday afternoon I returned the rental car one way and was out the door with it for a 400 mi journey to Utah. This was fairly new to their lot and they hadn’t prepped it yet so I was taking a huge gamble- I negotiated fairly good deal (Magestic 28’, 2000, 101,000 mi, prior owner bought it in ‘06 and put 6,000mi on it. Needless to say it sat a lot must have been inside because it’s in good shape. Heater motor/fan was frozen, got it working, roof leaked and there is a soft spot by the rear air vent- I put two coats of white roof paint and now leak free, grey water plumbing was loose and separated in one spot- fixed that, the uppassenger side drain black water valve was frozen (not good for connecting sewer hose) got it kind of working, the refrigerator was replaced with 110 only so when not plugged in and don’t want to run the gen all the time, use a cooler, cruise control not operative- trying to figure that one out, I think the over drive over heats (especially in hot weather) and shuts off for a few minutes I think to kool and then works again- on a 100 deg day, that happens about every 10 mins- other than that, it and the transmission runs great. Engine runs great other than hard to get gas to it at cold start up- the C forum diagnosed that a few weeks ago when I first got it- thank you!, gen and everything else runs great. The dealer replaced the house battery and I noticed it has room for two but no electrical for a second batt... do these typically have one or two back there? Rear tires have valve extensions and a couple of the rears seem to have a hard time holding air. And thank you to who posted about the 100,000 mike timing belt heads up... as no papers came with this coach, I have no idea what’s been done... I’ll put that on the list at next service.
Very best, CaptR
