transmission issues
I'm looking at a 79 revcon. The ad said the transmission had been recently rebuilt. I took it for a test drive and while on the highway it dropped out of 3rd gear at about 55 and stopped accelerating. I pulled to the side of the road and shifted to 2. It moved moved forward fine. As I gained speed I shifted to D with no noticeable difference. Sounded like it was still in 2. I shifted between D and 2 several times as I drove it back to the sellers house. I could not hear or feel a change in gear. The owner sent text today saying it was a seal. Am I looking at possibly rebuilding the transmission? Is the seller not being honest?4.5KViews0likes16CommentsRe: looking for a motorhome for primary residence
I just worked outa spot to park a motor home with electric and plumbing hook up at a friend's house. With that in mind any others suggestions for wintering in a motorhome? I'm going to look at a 88 itasca 32rq class a motor home.381Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for a motorhome for primary residence
I'm definitely looking into the solar aspect. We get a lot of sun in Taos. I would definitely prefer to buy one with panels but I expect I'll be installing them myself. I'm glad you mentioned heart element in water tank. I wasn't sure that was possible.381Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for a motorhome for primary residence
Thanks everyone for your thoughts. There is a possibility that there will be electric on site. I hope! There was electric in the original rv parking. The new owner it's rebuilding the whole base area so I'm hopeful that there will at least be power. I can always go to the rv park in town if it gets too cold. Also if propane cost becomes an issue it can't be as bad as 500/month rent can it? anyway keep the coming, I really appreciate it.381Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for a motorhome for primary residence
thanks for all the useful info!! i understand the issues of letting a motor home sit. i will have to move it periodically as there are no hookups in taos ski valley at the moment. I aslo dont have a vehicle that can pull a bumper pull trailer let alone a fifth wheel. im currently looking at a 97 pace arrow and a winnebago adventurer.164Views0likes0Commentslooking for a motorhome for primary residence
I just started looking at class A motorhomes for use as primary residence. My plan is to park it in Taos Ski Valley Nm as this is where i have lived and worked for 22 years. I've been scouring craigs list looking at used MH's in the 4k to 8k range. Mostly late 90's models. Everyone boasts great a/c but no one talks about the furnaces or warmth/insulation. Any suggestions for what brands/models I should be looking at? I figure for my purposes, something around 30 to 36 feet should do well. I know this is vague but any help to point me in the right direction is appreciated. im first time buyer. I read the sticky for first time buyers. Its great info but its a bit beyond what i can afford, i.e. beggars cant be choosers. thanks a bunch :)6.9KViews0likes32Comments
