Saw an ad, saw the rig, bought it

The DW and I have been talking on and off about a newer rig, the sun has taken it's toll on the Bounder and the fuel consumption is high. We have vacillated between Class A and Class C and back again and decided to go with a Rental resale Class C. I'm 75 and fast approaching 76, I find it difficult to get down to put the ramps under the Bounder and figured another $5000 for levelers and no amenities, I looked on CL and in the nearby listings found a 2002 Winnie Adventurer, 32V w/26000 miles and it had been covered all its life.

We looked at it Sunday and mulled it over on Monday and bought it this morning. I am not sure of the brand but it does have steering dampeners or steer straights or what ever. No wander, no semi wind buffeting and tracks straight and true. Has Banks Power system, new Michelins, flat screens front and rear. surround sound, no dents, nicks or scratches. The carpet does need cleaning but other than that, it's vacation ready. HWH levelers, power/heated mirrors, twin defroster fans and dual glazed windows with no leaks. It has a BlueOx ALADDIN tow bar and Patriot aux brake system.

Paid $30K because I wanted it and there were two other guys out on the street waiting to look, one offered full asking price.

Thanks to everyone here that gave me really good ideas and suggestions. Thanks Guys.
