Hi all,

Mark (Habbyguy) and I are looking at driving up to Albuquerque, NM, to check out this coach:

http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/rvs/3244546131.html

Does anyone have any experience with this coach? I'd love to hear your thoughts--here or in PM.

Dennis is selling it for a friend, who owns it. We spoke with Dennis, then later in the day spoke with the actual owner. The thing that has me hesitating a bit is the incongruity in the stories. Dennis said his friend has owned it "about 2 years." (Dennis lives on some land, so an extra motorhome isn't a problem, whereas the owner lives in town, so can't have an extra motorhome on his property). The owner said he owned it 6-8 years, and probably 2 years it has been at Dennis' place. That's not a big deal, except the brand new tires and batteries are from when the owner purchased it, i.e. they are all 6-8 years old. So, I have a bit of a red flag raised.

I think it sounds like a very good deal, and will serve us really well if it is in the mechanical shape Dennis says it is. He drives it at least monthly about 8-10 miles, and starts it up and lets it idle weekly. Sounds like it's mechanically perfect, with good CVs, cleaned tanks, new (or possibly rebuilt) engine installed just before the owner bought it, etc. Brakes are good, gen works well, roof air is good, etc.

Please, if you have any info I'd be grateful, or if you're in Albuquerque and can get over there tomorrow and check it out before we leave Sunday at 3:00 pm, that would be extra helpful.

Oh, here's my offering: TZE368V100805

Thank you,

Dave
