Hi,
I'm in Florida. I just saw a '94 trek 24 on the net with 54k miles. Isuzu diesel drive train. New fridge, new carpet, new roof ac, new tires for $13900 @ a rv lot in Cocoa, FL. Genset has 600 hrs. I understand it's underpowered but I don't plan on leaving Florida or encountering any Hills. May tow a 650# boat. What do you think?

Yes, I agree that PMS is a great place for service, both on the house and the chassis. I started using them in the late 90's and now days that is the ONLY place in the TB area that I will let touch my coach.
Thanks for the info. Do you know of any peculiarity she should watch for on an inspection?
