Any issues i should be concerned with on the Holiday Rambler?
Other than the rear radiator, which is much more difficult to work on, I would be looking at an RR10S chassis, such as the one bluwtr gave you a link to. Not the RR8R. Better handling on the 10.
Thank you for the link Nutinelse2do!
But, I see the 2004 Beaver Marquis SAPPHIRE, and I will contact them, but where is the Bluwtr?
:?
Bluwtr49 who gave you the link for the Marquis with the RR10S was who I was referring to. Sorry for the confusion.
Regarding your most recent post, there are a whole lot of beautiful coaches out there for sale with a Cummins engine. The ones you are asking about are Cat C9's. The problem with Country Coach was the aluminum radiator. If you consider that one, make sure the radiator has been changed, otherwise, that's 5-6k to replace.
As another poster recommended, it might be a good idea to narrow it down a little bit. Decide what floor plan works for you, then find the chassis and engine you would like to have.
The HP to weight ratio is a good starting point. Example.... 32k coach on a 350hp motor. Do you want a 2 stage Jake brake? Are you planning on doing most of the work yourself? Are parts and service available all over the Country? Are you planning on using the rig just locally, or planning cross country trips and need the stability of a tag? Will the rv parks you like have room for a 45' coach, or would it be better to have a 40'?
Whatever you buy in your price range, plan on putting at least 5-10k into it to make it
" yours", and you will also want a starting point. You will want virtually all services done, ie.. tranny service, a inspection and any repairs on the chassis, fliud changes, etc.
Do some reading, and make some phone calls. Find out where you can have services done, and get parts if needed. All that plays a huge part in your future ownership and maintenance of a large investment.
Hope this helps.
Good luck, and happy reading.
Edit... Might want to add Travel Supreme to your list
thankyou Nutinelse2do! I did do some reading on the CAT vs the Cummins, and the service interval @20k and the JAke brake are tempting.
Thank you for the Travel Supreme, I will look at those...
The Beaver's sound like solid RV's Would anyone be dissuaded with the Cat C-9 in 2008? Did that year have the DEF?
