1999 Rexhall Aerbus

We found another one and will be viewing it tomorrow I believe, just waiting for directions and a time. Has two slides, in the pictures it looks ok.

So what should we be asking about a RV this old, that will cost more money then the price which is 21,000.

We are thinking how old are the batteries, when was it last used, is it certified and e-tested or when was it last. How old are the tires, have the tanks ever been replaced. What is the roof made of has it been repaired. We will of course check for leaks, and all other problems on the inside and outside.

Thanks
  • I believe she is talking about the propane tanks being replaced. Chassis mounted tanks in the US don't have a replacement requirement. You would have to check with Canada for their rules on chassis mounted tanks.
  • We viewed the Rexhall today, and we like it. Large Motorhome, only thing that does not work is the ice maker on the fridge. No biggy to us. Started up wonderfully and purred like a kitten, all the manuals still and the maintenance records from even the original owner. We would be the third owners. A little fix here and there, nothing big, more just making it pretty...lol. So we are thinking of making an offer of 19000. He is asking 21000. He is replacing the windshield where they hit a bird or the bird hit them, small crack. We are going to ask that he e-test and safety. Let the negotiations begin.

    Yes I was thinking of the propane tank...I checked with a local RV dealer, service manager, and he said it needs a certification sticker. Some might fill it some might not, I would rather we were save and all was good so I will pay for the certification. If it all as to be replaced, tank so on, he said between 600 to 1100 with taxes. I thought it would be more. I would rather be save then sorry and I have a budget for this Motorhome purchase and all the surprise add ons, that still has money it...lol.
