Hi,
I am looking at purchasing a 73 Dodge Diamond Class C motorhome.
I notice that CDog says he's got one. I want to know what have been your problems, rants and raves about this machine, hopefully before I take the plunge. Please respond as soon as possible. I may buy it tomorrow. Please email me at AdamKris@aol.com.
Thanks.

Hi AnRvee,
good luck with your purchase if you go for it.
What I would suggest & I am sure you already know this.
look closely and ask questions about the maintaince of the entire home.
if it is a Valley rig {or any where really} pay close attention to water leaks, which would show as water stains around roof vents A/C unit windows ect. and check for mold in closed up areas.
make sure the fridge, heater, water heater holding tanks for leaks. plumbing and all are in good working order. if the home has a trailer hitch on it check to see that all of the framing and mountings are solid and have not compromised the frame of the home from abuse or poor construction.
take a close look at the engine and drive train for mechanical problems. oil leaks ect. Drive the home to see that the engine pulls strong and the trans shifts smoothly and is responsive. Brakes in good working order.
let us know how it goes for you
Rodney
