Re: 89 Chevrolet Fleetwood Flair 30' - right for us?
We have checked campgrounds and they are very affordable. Philly is our closest city but really we're in the 'burbs, which isn't exactly a hot travel destination. I will definitely look into making a trailer work. After looking online a little, I see you get a much newer model, plus more space, for the same price or less.241Views0likes0CommentsRe: 89 Chevrolet Fleetwood Flair 30' - right for us?
Thanks Dieharder. One of them has recently had the roof sealed, which seems like it's worth paying a little more for. Generally is there a good cutoff year for assuming most things will be in working condition, all else being equal? Another thought - do people ever lease their RVs? I found a campground that had some on site for rent, but they were no pets which is a killer for us.241Views0likes0CommentsRe: 89 Chevrolet Fleetwood Flair 30' - right for us?
Thanks for the input so far, all. On the travel trailer - we have nothing to haul one with. I drive an Impreza, husband has a Corolla. We could hire someone to haul it, but from here we will be headed to Maine; not sure how many drivers we could find to take it that far. It's something to think about though. Also, we love camping - I'm not too worried about space. As to the issue of winters, the plan at this time is not to live in it through winter. That said, do most people avoid staying in their RV's/trailers in the cold? Or is it that this one is so old it won't be insulated enough? Thanks again - Sarah241Views0likes0Comments89 Chevrolet Fleetwood Flair 30' - right for us?
Hi All, My husband and I are in the interesting position of needing to commit 6-8 months to the Philadelphia area, but no more than that. Short-term apartments are extremely expensive, so I started trying to get creative and landed on the idea of living in an RV for the season. There are two separate Craigslist ads right now for 89 Chevy Fleetwood Flair's, both 30'. Mileage on each is around 30,000, and both are asking under $9k. I know gas mileage wouldn't be the greatest, but we just plan to park it so not too worried about that. I am concerned about their age however. Do we need to be worried about plumbing, electrical, things like that? What should we look for when we view the rigs? Any known issues with these models/years that I should be aware of? More importantly, everyone thinks we're crazy. Are we? Best, Sarah2KViews0likes11Comments
