Three things to think about seriously.
1: As we age, we get up in the middle of the night more often. The person sleeping in the most forward position of that drop down bed will need to crawl over their mate or drop down the front side and crawl under the bed. That is just why we didn't buy a Trek.
2: Find out exactly what size that forward mounted diesel engine is and do some serious research. GM had a V8 diesel in that era that was not one of their best efforts.
3: If the coach is mounted on a Chevy P32 chassis, with independent front suspension, you may need to invest in upgrade components to make it drive acceptable. Or maybe that has already been done. Robert Henderson @ HENDERSON Line Up is the top expert on those old chassis.

Very good info and I will use it if and when I actually see this MH. My wife and I should have no problem with the pull down bed. But, I can see some difficulty if we had a couple of young ones running around.
Since the ad is already gone, I must assume that you've purchased it, or someone else has beat you to it.

Looks in pretty good condition for a 20 year old coach. Really need to see in person. What sometimes peaks my questioning sense is a coach licensed in one state but for sale in another. In this case Ohio and Florida. Could be nothing and just a retiree who moved south and no long needs to drive to get away from the cold winters.
Dale..........don't really see anything in the advertisement that indicates anything to do with Ohio? Can you advise further. Maybe my old eyes are failing me.

What is on the side wall mid way down the drivers side? It's not a good picture but it looks like damage or a poor repair. Maybe a removed decal? There's a small spot on the other side under the window too.
