My First RV
Hello all! Just wanted to share some photos of my first ever RV. It's a 1996 Chevrolet Flyer Special by Fleetwood (24ft). The name sure is a mouthful. I can't seem to find any info about it online at ...

The generator (Onan whisper 4000) works perfect and is amazingly quiet inside and out as is the roof AC. The cab AC needs to be recharged. The brakes need to be gone through also. They seem to work well but the PO said it may need rotors and fluid is a little dark.
Interior looks good, no orange shag carpets!! Make sure tires are the right type and less than 5-6 years old by date codes with no sidewall cracks. RV tires go bad sitting parked and can come apart whipping underside stuff with steel belts. You will probably need the RV generator and roof AC working reliably. The converter/charger and house battery(s) may need replacing. Modern converter/chargers do not overcharge/boil out batteries. Flush brake fluid as it collects moisture leading to brake fade on long down-grades. You probably know the rest. Have fun with your new hobby.
