A '08 excursion 39R is going to be $120K+... you can find a 9-10 year old 40+ tag axle DP with a ISL 400 (not a ISC 360) with 30K lbs of rear axles (not 19K) for that kind of money. Hidden on a cabinet door somewhere will be a CCC sticker, doubt it will be over 2000 lbs for '08 excursion 39R with a full wall slide. My Dynasty's CCC is only 9000 which does not include the 120 gallons of fuel and 100 water. As half timers and two people we use a lot of our CCC.
While this Super C is more $$$ than your budget... something like it might be the best solution for 7 plus it already has bunks.
waaahhhhhh $200k for that sucker on eBay- that is so far out of the budget that if you were standing in the range of the budget stretch for that and looking out, you might wonder: is pluto really a planet or just a rock in space ? :)
Back to the valencia real quick: when it was advertised, it was advertised as having 350HP cummins engine. The seller was only 10 minutes from our house so we shot over there. We didn't find out the coach only had a 300hp engine till we got home and looked up the specs.
Regarding list of needs vs wants. Do we have a list written down, no, but we do have a list it includes: 4 door fridge, min 330HP engine and 80+ gallons of fresh water. We're willing to give up some wants if the price point is right as the first thing we'd do is add whatever is that's needed.
The excursion, by the way is 90K. I'll have to checkout the CCC on it, but i know it has a 360HP engine and 10k hitch. Is it the right coach? I'm not sure, but i'm interested in looking at it as it should also have a residential fridge. That remains to be seen.
Just a minute or two ago, i ran across a Damon Astoria diesel bunk with a 340hp engine. I'm going to checkout the specs on that!
