For comparison, there was a '95 HR 30 footer near me which was listed for $9K, which would have been a much nicer unit. I think its too much money for what it is. Its priced as if the economy has not taken a nose dive.

However, if you are looking at gassers that are pre-2000, you do not want longer than about 30 feet, as the chassis were never designed to handle the weight. For instance, the old P30 series chassis started out designed for 15K lbs. It drove pretty well at those kind of weights, but once the manufacturers started building longer, taller coaches, the chassis design never really advanced. It just had minor tweaks to keep it legal. Even so, most gas coaches of that era were over weight from the factory.
