Tom/Barb, unfortunately I disagree on 1 point.
If the cabinets are the best in the business, then everyone else's must be garbage. I know Newmar brags about their cabinets bit I've had many issues. Cabinets twisting, doors cracking. Things stapled with a few screws but no glue. Crown moulding installed upside down!. Terrible as far as I'm concerned. Thankfully, I can repair them myself. 40 yrs. as a cabinetmaker.

Hmmm, so what about the performance of the Vehicle? What about the slides? what about stability?

Did ya notice he is a cabinet maker? He will see stuff that you and I would believe is normal.

I have a 1995 London aire! I am very pleased starting to get some issues , alternator, air dryer ,water pump small nickel and dime stuff but very pleased with it and the fun way out weighs the minor inconvenience of having small issues break it is getting old and all original equipment so it is standing the test of time...craigslist scares me buy stuff off of...

Today I saw a 42 foot 2003 Monoco Dynasty on the for sale lot at the Whidbey Naval Airstation here at Oak Harbor call this number 1-360-770-8414 ask for Bernie.
This one looks like it needs some TLC (wash and wax) They were great coaches, and with 3 slides. has lots of room as a full timer

anyone coming up to see it I'll sponsor on the station to see it. PM me if you are coming.

We purchased a 2004 Newmar Northern Star 5 years ago. We have been impressed by the workmanship and the customer support that Newmar has provided us. I would not hesitate to purchase another Newmar.

For any used coach, you need to get complete maintenance records and you need to make sure they knew what maintenance should be done.

Look to see if the coach has the paint checking issue - if you ant more information, do a search on this forum. This issue was not just with Newmar but with other manufacturers on coaches from about 2000 to 2008. I have seen it on many other brands - it is a defect with the sidewalls and many coach manufacturers used the defective sidewalls. The problem gets worse over time even if the coach is stored under cover.

I think the OP reported on page 2 the ad was a scam, so scamming is at least 50 percent on topic for this thread.

We all understand about the scams, heck I just listed my TT on Craigslist - please get this one back on track.

Thank you. :B

Multiple listing on Craig's list is a very common tactic to cover a larger area for the sale..

I've seen several coaches and Jeeps that had multiple listings in different states on Craigslist, and they were all scams. Not saying some people don't do it, but as a buyer it should be one of the things to raise suspicion beyond some of the other obvious ones.

Maybe they were, but that's not the point. It is all about what the seller is willing to do.

When they act like a scammer they probably are.
When they want you to send money they certainly are.

Follow the rules I posted, and you'll spot them pretty quick.

Agree with the Craigslist scam and needs to be a sticky.

I'll add, that an RV being stored on a military base is not even a legitimate reason to not be able to view it. Beside the obvious that it could be moved, the service member can sponsor anyone with proper government ID through the gate.
