Just sold the second one and are now in the market for a used Class 'A'. Will not buy without hours of running EVERY system, a lengthy test drive and a mechanic's (of my hiring) visit for the drive-train.
After 100's of nights now in our TT's, I feel as qualified as anyone.
I just bought a used Class A from National Indoor RV Center in Lawrenceville (Atlanta) and got the best PDI I have ever seen. When I first looked at it, I was allowed time to look and poke around. It was hooked to electricity, but not water at that point. I was able to open and close slides, and poke around all I wanted. Put a deposit and scheduled to return in two weeks for pickup. When I returned for pickup, I had a tech assigned to me and he spent 4-5 hours with me going over how things worked, suggestions of things to make it easier, and a drive around. I then was hooked up in their lot to electricity and water and given the gate code so I could spend the night. Same tech arrived about 8:30 the next morning with coffee and doughnuts to answer any questions and resolve anything I had found over night, including scheduling replacement of a thermostat that they didn't have in shop. Best experience ever. oh yeah, I bought a 3 yr old GAS MH and got the same treatment the folks buying the 1/2 million dollar rigs did.
That's great testimony! I will consider them, as I am less than 2 hours. At what point in the process had you committed?
