we looked at one that was listed for 85K with a sale price of 64K. Took it for a drive and it was terrible IMO. The quality control for the unit was bad, the trim for the headliner was not tight and was not designed to be tight it appears. Manual mirrors, no real seat adjust ment except fore/aft and over all a terrible test drive. It is still sitting on the lot and the sales guy said they would probably need to wholesale it!
Just about all of this brand (chateau) we looked at had the same quality control, that is none at all. Even the generator exhaust system was just hanging loose. We found an 09 4 winds that was much nicer but decided to just keep the TT as we did not want to have payments for next 20 years!
I dont know why the mfr's scrimp on the driver compartment. I can get a basic pu with better accomodations than most of the rv's we looked at. Jayco makes a nice one, but no outside storage, winnebago has the itaska and their line, itaska was much like the chateau in most respects, and the winne still did not have a nice driver compartment. The box is for the wife, the driver compartment for me! If we found 1 I liked she didn't like the box and vice versa. Hope you find something.
