Hi Dwight45,
I assume you have exhausted all the more local (closer to you) RV dealerships & private sales for a coach that fits your needs? I can't imagine (myself anyway) needing to go that far. But if what you seek is truly that rare so be it. My response is YES YES YES you have to see, smell, drive, inspect, what you are buying. My second coach was purchased used from a buyer 4 hours out from me one way. I made the trip twice & purchased/took delivery on the third visit. That was not a small amount of windshield time.
