I have posted about a couple different older rigs I have looked at. I wanted to start this to get opinions on rigs I am considering.

First up is a 1997 Winnebago Vectra Grand Tour. Garage kept its whole life. 4 year old Michelins. This is a little older than the other I've been considering but seems to be in good condition.

Please give feedback.

The Bounder looks to have a short WB compared to the overall length. Could be a little squirly but a good test drive will tell. Otherwise it looks good.

Washer/dryer - nice. Looks like they have service records maybe?

Wonder how many hours on the genny.
G-half can always find a way to do things upside-down, inside-out or backward.

I'm thinking the Rambler is too far away and the Winnebago a littler older than I'd like with the 460 motor.

Thoughts on this Bounder?

When it comes to rubber roofs, Bumpy has a love/hate relationship. Without the love. 🙂

the rambler appears to be on the new improved Ford chassis. the winnie is on the old chassis with 16 inch rims. at least neither is on the old P-30/32 chassis. does the rambler have a rubber roof? if so I wouldn't want it.

Average retail price is $15,150.00 according to NADA...........I am not a big fan of gas engines in a coach like this due to weight restrictions
you need to look at towing capacity......gross vehicle weight rating..and empty weight..when I was looking alot of coaches would be overweight if you had 1800 pounds of cargo in it........
