We (husband and I) have had Class C and Class A motorhomes before but are currently RV-less. We are looking at a 1994 Damon Intruder that is in remarkably good condition for its age and would suit us very nicely. Neither of us is particularly knowledgable mechanically so we asked our son, who helps his friends rebuild engines for fun (!), to check it out. He took it for a test drive and it died once in a short test drive. We know the engine battery will need replacing ASAP but are concerned about getting into major engine problems. Those of you who are mechanically knowledgable, would the dying more likely be related to the known battery problem, or would you suspect something major?
all due respect to your son, have a qualified mechanic examine the engine and drivetrain. i'd also have a qualified rv tech take a look at the coach. a 22-yr old motorhome is a potential disaster looking for a place to happen. proceed cautiously.
