Live and Learn -- Didn't Get my MH
Welp, I suppose in the end what happened was no coincidence and maybe I wasn't supposed to get it. I was pretty convinced this was the rig for me, a 1983 Honey with a Ford 351, new tires, and a bunch...

Hi,
Thank your lucky stars that he said "no" to an inspection and that you walked away. 1983 is too old. Chassis parts are not available.
The plastic pipe that was used at that time can no longer be sold as it is defective. The entire RV would have had to be replumbed at some time. Since they do that first at the factory--it would require a huge effort to fix this.
Ah yes, the infamous "Qest" tubing. FWIW, the tubing itself is fine, it's just the aluminum crimp clamps they used in some applications that were no good. Those can all be replaced with either copper clamps or plastic fittings but it would be a job.
