1999 Mountain High Coachworks Residency Project
Just finishing up the touches on a 1999 Residency I bought 3 months ago.
I really liked the floor plan, Otherwise I would of bought something newer. And I think I got a good deal.
I purchased the Coach for 25,000 W/ 50K miles on it.
Its v10 Purrs like a kitten, Drove it halfway across the country home with no mechanical issues, except the generator wouldn't start (knew this buying it)
Heres Break Down of what ive done and Prices.
$25,000 - 1999 Residency
$500 - Fix Onan 5500 Generator (Needed New Starter And had it Serviced at the same time)
$980 - Splendide 2100XC Washer/Dryer
$1200 - Reupholster all the curtons and the main L shaped Couch (wasn't digging the floral patterns)
$1100 - Installed new Smart TV's in the bedroom and living room
$100 - Motion Sensor Outdoor Lights
$400 - 8 Camera Outdoor Security System (Covers 360 degrees)
$500 - The Seals in the dual pane windows were creeping towards the middle, so replaced every windows seal myself. Im going to make a youtube video on low cost way to rebuild the windows I found out)
Ive been looking for some others that have owned or still own one of these motorhomes. Curious there thoughts on the coach. Its new to me and I haven't put it through the paces. But in 3 weeks will mark its first maiden voyage since I Purchased it. Doing 4 day close to home trip and then in December going to do a longer 5 week long trip through mid west.
Ill post some pictures of the project soon!
