Actually I didn’t buy it. It looked for a while that it might work till the seller sent pictures of the roof. By the way, this rig had one house battery in the engine compartment and a second one back under the bed. I have been shopping for a C for over a year, looking for one from 24 ft. to 26 ft., and they seem to be hard to find. I’m in Eastern WA and there is nothing here so I have to look at Spokane, Seattle area or Portland and by the time I see something I may want it’s already sold. I refuse to buy sight unseen and from Nov. through Feb. travel is sketchy. The weather is hit or miss this time of year and all the highways are covered with de-icer which raises havoc with the underside of a vehicle . I haven’t seen many for sale through the summer months. Of course the dealers have a few but they want an astronomical amount for them. I offered 170% of NADA value for a 99 24 ft. Winnie and they countered with 240% of the NADA value and wouldn’t budge. There is no way in the world I would pay that but I’m sure someone will. I told the salesman an old Alaska Indian said “wait long time moose come by” so I’ll continue waiting. I keep looking but it’s getting on to spring and I have a buyer for my Class A. Shopping for a used rig I can see why people buy new. I can’t afford new and probably wouldn’t buy new if I could but trying to find a good used one is tough. I’ll keep on looking, something will come up.
