2003American Tradition 40 U

[dreamerman54]

Good morning folks, I am looking at an American Tradition 40U. It looks new( stored inside), has 38,000 miles. The owner is asking 80,000$. I did a quick walk thru. DW & I are going back Friday to look closer. Any thoughts or anything I need to look out for?
Thanks!

Traditions are nice coaches. Well made and well appointed. Also, excellent tech service from American Coach.

I have an 03 Excursion and it has been a great RV, The Tradition being much more upscale is very nice! Perhaps 03 was good year for American Coach as well. Price sounds great for that coach. I'd still try to bargain. Curious as to why the low mileage? Did it sit awhile?

The Tradition is a very nice coach. We had a 2000 Tradition that we put over 90,000 miles on in 5 years. Had VERY few problems with it. We were very happy with it. The only weakness we had was we had to be careful with the 3 jacks. It is fairly easy to crack a windshield if you don't put the front jack down first, and raise the coach some with that before dropping the rear jacks - even if the front is high! In 2004, I believe, they went to the Liberty chassis and 4 jacks and that ended the windshield cracking problem.
