well we went and looked at the coachmen we had our eye on and we have now realized that our budget isnt going to allow us into a class c that we want right now. the one we looked at was a 02 29' santara with 32k , one slide, leveling jacks, onan gen, rear walkaround, couch, table and overhead bed,ducted a/c which were all things we were looking for, it was a cosignment and they are asking $25k for it, the roof needed re-sealing, there was a fixed leak at the rear window(not sure if it was fixed correctly), the hydro setup for the jacks looked new but was leaking at the pump somewhere, it smelled like cig smoke, the awning above slide was broken, the shower was a gross yellow (possibly made that way)the carpet was gross the arm of the couch was broken.on the plus side it had all new battiers, all new tires. So we may lowball and offer him 15k for it. it would need new carpet, a new couch, prob new table cushions as well aas bunk ones to get rid of the smoke smell. BUT while looking at it there was a twice used 2014 hybrid jayco jat feather slx 16xrb that is only 300lbs heavier than our current camper and has way more room as it has 2 beds that pop out the ends. So it looks like we will be going that route as its way cheaper, gets us what we need space wise. i think in 4 or 5 years well be ready money wise for a class C. I do want to thank you all for your input, now off to see if theres a hybrid section here.
