I don't post much, but read this forum everyday. My wife and I looked at Tom & Darlenes '90 and there are times I think i shouldn't have passed on it. But it looks like it found a great home.
Anyway, I looked at the 1988 in Mesa today. This thing is CLEAN. They say the paint is original and I found nothing that disputes that. Tires: front 4713 date code, rear ??11 (I don't remember). All the laminate is light pink, but it didn't bother me. All upholstery is in very good condition. The engine compartment was amazing for a coach this old(clean). Didn't open the genny. The water and waste bays were very clean. All bay doors were straight and not many nicks or scratches in the paint. The engine (140,000 miles) fired right up and sounded fine, but I'm not a qualified diesel mechanic. The genny started up easily (2700 hours) gauges showed 115VAC and 120VAC @ 30A. All 3 AC units started and blew cold. Floors were very clean and the appliances looked little used. No signs of leaks at any of the windows or on the ceiling. Doorbell worked. All the switches I tried turned on something (no mystery switches).
We have a 30ft Lazy Daze that seems to suit us well and I don't know why am drawn the these beasts.
So. we'll probably pass on this one also and I'll regret in a few months....Oh well.
