Hi,
Well, as one poster pointed out, it looks like counter space is very limited without removing the stove or sink covers. THAT would be a deal breaker for us, and it's something you should consider, seeing as you like to cook.
About the mechanicals, I have a rig from that era, we bought new, and I did a lot of research before we bought ours. Three slide units on a 22,000 lb. GVWR chassis in that era can be very limiting on available cargo carrying capacity. Since you'll only be doing mostly shorter trips, maybe it won't be an issue.
Also, it looks like a fairly long overhang behind the rear wheels. It would be interesting if you can find the wheel base length. Our rig is 36' long with a 242" wheelbase, and it handles pretty well. However, the shorter the wheel base, the more likely it may have handling issues and possible rear axle overloading. Anyway, a 37' long unit should have at least a 242" wheelbase, in my opinion.
Also, someone mentioned that the WH22 doesn't have a brake recall. The W-22's DO have the brake recall, the W-24's did not.
The price might be a bit high, as well, however, I guess you can't blame someone for trying to get top dollar. :)
Good luck in your search.
