Mary said we might just have to move on down, in years of course. It is a lot of coach for 29Gs. Very very clean. Love the two chairs. Chappell

Tom, I have a good friend in Phx that might be interested in this coach. He doesn't know a lot about coaches. If he gets a little more serious would you be able to look at it with him if I can't make it over to Phx?

Wow that is a very nice looking coach. Exterior looks great and on the interior if you simply put new flooring in like maybe a wood floor it would look updated. If the mechanical systems check out this is a great find indeed I would say. I have said it before and I will say it again that on a coach like this from my own purchase I would settle on a price with the owner and make it contingent on a fluids check. Steve (Prairieschooner) suggested that to me when we were looking at ours and I rushed into it too fast and did not order one of the tests. Had I done that test I probably would have had strong indications of what was happening and that would have changed everything.
I can't get over though from the pics how clean this one looks inside and out so maybe even with some mechanical needs this is still one to look at seriously.

I did not run any tests. Just looked at the service records. Steve sent me a link to a company that will mail you a kit. The kit has you take samples of the oil and other fluids. You send it to a lab Nd they test it for things that would indicate trouble. In my case it would have more than likely detected chunks of metal indicating the engine was on a spiral.
