I spoke with Jake several times and he is sending more pictures.
He is a private wholesaler and got it from a dealer in Mesa.
We talked some numbers in principle and I know it needs new rubber before I can take it home. It has 11R22.5's and I will need to find a place to get some in Phoenix. There is a spot where the clearcoat is peeling that will need to be repainted.
It has a 6v92 and he claims it has 73000 original miles. Got the VIN # and will do a VIN check to see its history.
If I get the address and info, can anybody in Phoenix take a look at it for me for a reasonable fee in the next 2 days and then I will buy a plane ticket ?
If it all checks out, I am debating if it is wise to come buy it and drive it to South Bend IN in the middle of the winter going through mountains ( I- 40) where some passes can be icy and even require mandatory tire chains....don't want to do that...about 1900 miles
As an alternative I can go south and take I-10, I-20 then I-44 through Oklahoma City...still 2000 miles but I don't know if this route still has issues in the winter.....anybody know better ?
Another option is to find a place to rent where I can plug the coach in for 3 months (20 amp should do to keep the batteries charged) and come again get it in March April and drive it home......
Does anybody know of a place that I can rent a spot in to accomplish that ?
Any advice Newell gurus ?
