I have two motor homes that I am thinking about buying. Which one would you buy.
#1 1986 32' Mobile Traveler. The coach has 75,000 miles on the chasie. The 454 Chevy motor and the automatic transmission were both rebuilt and have 2,500 miles on them. The refridgerator needs replaced, the carpet needs replaced, all 6 tires needs replaced, and the fresh water tank needs replaced. Everything else is in working condition. No leaks. Price $4,000.
#2 1987 34' Gulfstream. The coach has 40,000 miles on it. It is powered by a Ford 460 on a John Dear frame. The only thing wrong with the coach is the dash air does not cool, and the netural switch on the transmission is out. The motor home can be started and runs strong by jumping the started silinoid. The carpet was replaced with prego flooring and there are no signs of water or heat damage. Everything on the coach works. The tires are in good shape. The price on this one is $5,200.
Which one would you buy?
