Well I went to look at the coach anyway and I'm glad I did. I bought it right on the spot. It is the most flawless, well maintained coach I have ever seen. Now I have to change my signature.

Congrats....
For beginners, check closely with the first rain storm and if it's always been stored inside, as you say.
As for the coach itself, I'd rather have a low mileage unit, regardless of some possible lot rot.
It's all about the money and not knowing the price, it's relative now.
It it's without any slides, then it's value, is considerably less and the single most thing affecting it's book value.
They're easy to buy right and hard to sell, usually, so again, it's all relative.
It's really to one's advantage, if they can do without the extra room and for buying a really nice coach for next to nothing.

Thanks!

Beautiful rig!

Thank you all for your comments and advice. Been on 4 trips now with this coach and we love it. I think I finally figured out how to add a photo. I hope it works.

Thanks again,
Roland

More pics when you can! I think I saw it's twin being pulled out of a garage at our storage area the other day. I was in awe how clean it was (made me want to get mine detailed). Unfortunately I think he had just sold it to someone (other than me :))

Congratulations Roland, looks and seems like a great find. Thank you to all those of you who posted is such wonderful ways, especially "Thanks to Larry Cad", you really set the tone of the thread.

Happy Turkey Day wherever you may be this coming holiday.

Congrats on your decision to make the purchase.

Our Eagle is older than your Dream and we just passed 100K on the clock after almost 10 years of ownership.

These vintage Americans are very solid in design, construction and quality of materials used.

Enjoy!!!!

Ro646a congratulations on your new acquisition!

We previously has a nice late 90's Winnebago Vectra Grand Tour DP w/Freightliner chassis w/Cummins and Allison World Trans. We just made a pre-retirement/retirement transition to a high-line DP for some "real" RV trips.

We have always liked Winnebago from a value, product, and parts-support standpoint. The American Coach products do offer a premium decor and feature level beyond the Winnebago and Fleetwood product lines.

The GOOD news is if you shop/search hard, there are many great, low-mileage, inside-stored, well-cared-for, luxury rigs offered at decent prices...

... But the SAD news is many of the sales we came across were health-driven (either serious or worse, terminal), what we'd call unfortunate or premature sales.

So the lesson is, as uncertain as health and illness are - Don't wait too long to retire in decent health, or buy and travel in that "rig of your dreams!"

Wishing all forum members the best of health, and the safest of travels.
