Hi Ron Jim the person with Collie in their NAne and everyone who replied thank you do much The coachman rounds scarey water damage potential. My family has akergues to mold What do you think of the other brands I mentioned for tight. Urgent? I saw a 97 minnie winnie for 29k I think. I wish I could afford the born free and lazy days no leaks in roof so yo the fiberglass and shape. So I know budget always dictates what we can buy afford but if you were to fill in the blanks of this sentence what would you say? Try to save at least ----- and buy a use rv like a - or - that will be less problematic. I'd rather save more and get something that won't be like a pasta strainer when it it rains lol. Who else besides born free and lazy days makes an rv with a good roof that a newbe lik me could snatch up used? I'm a piano tech and if my business picks up and I could sell Rome pianos that would sure help. So I'm not necessarily owed minded to a coachman but Leary. That would be like the time we bought this old Jett's from a guy a friend of mine knew. Nothing but trouble. So what I'm hoping to do is find a reliable rv like the reliability of a honda or toyota without having to save up a to. Is that possible? Does older reliable and affordable exist in the rv arena? By affordable. Since everyone's budget is different I mean reasonably priced? How little should one expect to spend to assure themselves of a safe virtually trouble free class c? Then I can say honey we need to save at least this much fir a good rv. That means x amount of extra piano tunings or pianos sold in basically looking for an older rv which was well taken care of with honda or toyota reliability. I know a lot depends on how it was maintained. There are some beat up abused Hondas and toyotas out there. So having it checked us critical. Being sight impaired us no big deal. I can smell and feel very wrll add that yo a great rv inspectors expertise I should hopefully be ok. I hope I'm not asking to much. I just want my first r v to be an incremdable experience rather than the one u had with that Jett's. No heat windows did to open ac worked a little engine was good at least. We re lo I g our toyota and want an rv we can love and even give a pet name to. Thanks again. You guys are great
