Re: 2003 Four Winds 5000 - Advice
Thanks guys! I'm going to go back and take a second, more thorough look this morning. He said he replaced the shower pan due to a crack, so I'm going to see if he/the previous owner dressed it quickly or let it go causing water damage. I'll check from underneath the coach and peek through the hole under the sink where the water supply lines pass through. Roof looked great, and looking at the caulk seams on the MH, everything looked well. I pushed upwards on the ceiling from inside the coach to check for water damage and it was sturdy. They just bought the MH in June, and are selling it because they said A. They wanted to try a MH after a 5th wheel, and this was a budget way to do so. B. Need a dedicated bed for the wife as she has a bad back. She did show me the registration that showed their purchase price - $16,200. Not sure if it was the actual, what they reported to the DMW, or what the DMV bases the taxable value on. Thanks again!368Views0likes0Comments2003 Four Winds 5000 - Advice
Been lurking here for a few months and been scanning local Craigslist and other online classifieds for RV's. Been wanting to try a small MH for weekend trips with the family. Sometimes to visit family ~300 miles away, sometimes to explore and visit a park, attraction, riding the side x side, etc. Originally I was looking at bunkhouse 30+ footers, but my wife and I discussed it and we both agreed that we'd buy something a bit smaller and less expensive as our first to see if we like it. Today a pretty pristine 2003 Four Winds 5000 with a Chevy 6.0 popped up for sale, 40K and second owner. I gave the coach a cursory overlook and it looked excellent. My concerns are the age, and the asking price which I think it be high, but am unsure if the 6.0 is any more desirable? They're asking about $22K. I believe NADA had low retail at $16K and avg at $19K Looking for a little advice. Seems like a nice little MH that we can use to test the waters. Just unsure about the age and price - don't mind paying more for something nice, but I also don't want to overpay and be in a bad position off the bat. Thanks1.6KViews0likes5Comments
