Some i believed some not. Still looking. Likely will end up with a Ford chassis just because they're more numerous but never know.993Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2011 Winnebago Sightseer

The windshield privacy curtain was blocking my view and as I pushed it back I noticed a whole in the side just aft of the driver's window revealing a water leak and rotted wood. Not sure how extensive the damage was but it looked like the rot went from at least from above the window to the floor based on the condition of the wallpaper and the punky feel as I pressed on the sidewall. Very disappointed. I looked for water leaks early on in the process. Thought I did a good job but for some reason I didn't pull back that curtain. Feel like I got lucky and dodged a bullet. I think you dodged a bullet there. Plenty of nice units out there. Keep looking, you’ll find one that’s perfect! Yes and you were right in your previous post!!542Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2011 Winnebago Sightseer

Hi all, Looking at the back of my Winnebago water heater there is the usuaal pex pipe, valves and fittings. There are also two hoses that look like automotive heater hoses. They go in to either side of what looks like a pipe welwded to the tank. Anyone can know what they are for? Thanks.922Views0likes3Comments2011 Winnebago Sightseer
Hi all, I found a decent looking low mileage (23,000) 2011 Winnebago Sightseer. The current (2nd) owned has had it for two seasons over which time he started suffering from dementia. He drove when he shouldn't have sideswiped something damaging one of the storage compartment doors on the left side. Worst of all last fall it didn't get winterized and the result at a minimum is a new water heater, some pvc fittings and a new toilet or toilet valve. The fresh water tank had never been used and the grey and black water tanks don't seem to be leaking. I put low air pressure (15 lbs) to the system after bypassing the water heater and blocking off the toilet line. Far as I could tell it held air although the cracked fittings were letting some air out. The price is right but I'm wondering if this is something I should walk away from. I think the damage is minimal but not sure. The price is low enough below average list that I can comfortably put 8k to 10k into it (including new tires) doing all the other work myself. Thoughts/opinions are appreciated.1.8KViews0likes7Commentsmotorhome pricing
Hi all, I'm looking at an older 2005 motorhome. It has been meticulously cared for and is in excellent condition except for some faded and peeling decals. It has very low mileage at 14,458. For the last 3 years it has been going to Florida and Maine from New Hampshire so hasn't been sitting. Previous owners I'm told used it sparingly but that it didn't sit around for long periods of time. To those who have experience with this and giving them the benefit of the doubt as far as not sitting too long, how much if any over list does the low mileage and excellent condition add to the list price. He's also throwing in a Patriot towing system (tow bar and braking device) which has good value. Average retail is 27,800 (according to J.D. Power) and asking price is 38,000. It's an Allegro Open Road on a Workhorse Chassis. Thanks for reading3.4KViews0likes11Comments
