We got our motorhome tonight! We had been watching one near Lansing for a couple weeks. It was a 1978 Royale Twin Bed. Decided that we should go look at it last weekend (9/12/19) and talked to the owner on Thursday. Set up our visit on Saturday. Friday evening I made a confirmation call, and it Sold! NOOOOO! Anyway, I was bummed for a couple days. We looked at another one Tuesday night. Well, Tuesday during the day, I got a call. Turns out, the sale fell through. We rearranged our schedule and we to go look at it tonight. Put a deposit on her and will pick it up Tuesday.
Here she is in all her well maintained glory.
She is nearly original, Very unmolested and in very good shape. There are some things that will need to be addressed. The exhaust manifolds leak, she'll need tires, and the generator is a no-go. There is an oil leak of some sort underneath. Those are the real pressing needs. I'll also do a full PM on her (oil, Tranny flush, Coolant, Front wheel bearings, brake check, etc). Interior wise, she's very nice. The vacuum is present and works, the blender works, it has a tri mode fridge that all three modes work on, Water pump, HVAC, Dash A/C works, Both rooftop units work, and on, and on. Brand new Awning last year. The underside is rust free. Has full disc brakes, the Air suspension works and is leak free. Still a single bag set-up, though it doesn't look original. The paint and stripes are original.
To say we're excited is an understatement. I feel like I got a steal for what we paid. It was advertised at 16,500 and we paid less. I can't wait to get her home and start planning our first trip.
