Thanks again guys.
We looked at a 1992 CC this weekend, and it convinced me more of the possible worth of the HR. The CC has pieces of the basement frame that had rusted away - completely gone in several places. Great powertrain (Cummins 8.8L with MT747) but I don't want to be anywhere near it when the body drops off the frame.
We're going to take another look at the HR Limited. From the coaches we've considered, it's one I think can give us many years of relatively little problem, and it fits our intended use.
BTW... We have a 1989 Boat with tandem trailer... and the original tires!! Previous owner only towed from barn to dock, to shop for end-of-season maintenance/winterizing (it was in Michigan), and then back to barn. I always carry a spare, and check pressure religiously. Yes, I know I'm on borrowed time on those tires - LOL.
