Sold it!!

1999 Model Class A, put it on Craig's list and it took me almost a month but I found it a home. It was in bad shape, roof had a bad leak from just behind the nose cap almost all the way to the living room. The ceiling was buckled, water dripping on the dash, soft spot in the floor, mold on the cabinets, yeah it was bad. I made it perfectly clear what was wrong with it and the new buyer wanted it anyway, so I let him have it. To be honest with you, I was going to give it one more week and then part out the good stuff and sell the rest for scrap. I wouldn't have paid 10 dollars for the whole thing, but he wanted it...I still cant wrap my head around it.
Anyway, to all you folks out there who say check for delam, look for soft spots, check the roof, don't by a junker....HA! I sold it!!!
I am so happy to have it out of my yard, and he is happy to have a project so I guess we both win!

  • Hi,

    99 is not OLD! I bought mine new in November of 1996, it is a 97 model. . .

    Yes I did have to recoat the roof back in 20010 and again a couple of years ago. But it is still sealed, and looks 'decent' inside.

    I guess it does have some problems, I probably will have to replace the hot water heater tank, new tires before a major trip, and other maintenance things, like batteries.

    I guess that the frame and drivetrain where worth something!

    Tow happiest days in a boat owners life are the day they bought it, and the day they sold it!

    Good luck!

    Fred.
  • Was the buyer young, full of energy, short on money and had no idea of what he was really going to get into? Or, retired and board?

  • Hey, everyone here says not to buy a tired rig...
    No one said anything about selling one!

    Glad you got her sold.
