Re: 2013 Coachmen Sportscoach Pathfinder Elite 40'
I've had a 2010 coachmen Mirada 32DS for a few years now (got it 1 yr used)... it's not the highest quality, but it's not the worst. I felt it was the design I wanted and well worth the cost. and recently I've found even the higher quality coaches have about the same finish as my coachmen. (poor when compared to stick and brick houses) If repairs are a concern - perhaps its best to purchase a warranty. I think most coaches need some repairs to begin. I also think most issues people have with repairs are related to their dealer. One dealer is great another is horrible. I am very handy so making repairs is easy for me. Expect most coaches built now, will have yearly minor issues (due to normal use) and an occasional major issue (often due to misuse) - by example my engines air compressor needed replaced (due to non-use) the year before she came to me. under my care she is started over the winter on a regular basis and the air compressor is exercised. would I buy again? yes... but I don't think I would pay full price for any coach.343Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sell it then promise to fix it....seriously
you guys are missing the obvious... if you see these major issues you will miss the small stuff... like the stain on a cabinet door doesn't go all the way to the edge... we as RV buyers expect some issues even with a new unit and if we didn't see the obvious things to grab our attention, we'd search and find that the moulding doesn't fit right, or the door doesn't latch... things that would cost much more to fix.290Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pink non-toxic antifreeze and system sanitization
Ethyl alcohol is a poor sanitizer.... the only research done on it was done with 100% back in the 60-70's .... it was only tested on 4 different bacteria and its exposure time was long ... take this same research and apply it to Purell for your hands... it makes people feel good but does little else... stick with chlorine to sanitize... as for the people who never sanitize... it only takes one case of giardia or some other nasty bug to change your mind / life... its like the flu vaccine .... it only takes one case of the "real" flu to convince you to take it every year...246Views0likes0Comments
