When people are in the market for a low priced older motor home, I always bring up the Telstar for it's quality of construction & structural design with well placed structural seamwork, domed fiberglass roof, & seamless fiberglass front cab-over cap. Most other motor home brands built in the late 80's early 90's need to be in a salvage yard because of detrimental water damage, rotten structural framework, mold & mildew, etc.
I love your a/c unit down below. They are generally used in commercial applications like hotel courtesy transportation vehicles. It is nice to have a roof without the biggest hole as well as the biggest obstacle of low hanging branches.
Nice detailed video. Thanks for sharing. Safe Travels!
BTW: I tried to post my comments on your You-Tube video but it didn't let me.
Hi Ron. Thanks for your kind message. I am not sure why that video did not allow you to post comments, but I am not very experienced with Youtube.
The Telstar is of such a fine build, I am amazed. There is just absolutely no mold or mildew smell at all, it is today a lot like it was brand new. The previous owner did not detail it out, there were old bits of dust build-up here and there, but no sign of any water damage ever. The seats, cushions, cabinets, etc, are all very well made. It drives like a dream. Plenty of power. Has a very unique and cool "look".
I paid $9000 for this. There was one locally for $7000 also as I recall but it was a bit tired on the interior based on the description. In any case, I consider this motorhome a great bargain.
I also looked at a Clarion, you might be familiar with that one? Those Clarions are not as good though, I am sure of that, but similar.
