This fellow might actually have a realistic appreciation for the state of today's RV market.

As to taking it on a 2000 mile trip, there is some risk to any long trips in a coach this old unless you have taken the time to deal with hoses, belts, tires, tuneups, etc., & are sure that everything is up to snuff.

He says it "needs vary little." You or I may think differently. The only real way to answer your question is to fly out there & check it out yourself, figuring that if you decide to buy, you're going to have to pop for those things I mentioned before you can be reasonably sure of a safe trip home.

Several of us have invested in such trips to find that the unit wasn't what we really wanted.

When a lister only provides the Craigslist PM address, there's little that can be done if there's no reponse.

I'd say he is serious about selling it.

Yeah, but it could be time and money well spent. I did a lot of travelling and coming home empty-handed before finally buying. Even though I bought two counties away, and did all the stuff, I had trouble getting home. Stuff happens.

With dual A/C, central vac, ice maker, blender, tv, microwave, and back up camera, that is pretty loaded for a 28 ft gasser. Might have some nice upgrades inside, as well.

Looks like a rear bath with a walk-through twin bedroom.

I would like to see more pictures of the interior. Looking at the street side behind the driver is a couch that is probably 6 feet. Behind the couch is a dining booth that must take up another 6 feet. Behind the dining booth looks like some type of desk. I don't think it is kitchen cabinets because of the height ( they don't look high enough, same height as arm of couch). Behind the cabinets is a wall with a door. I don't see how there could possibly be a bathroom and beds beyond that wall on a coach that is 28 feet long.

Is that 2 storage pods mounted between the a/c's?

Your thoughts? Confused

The arrangement is similiar to mine, but with the center entry where my shower is, I'd say space is tight. It looks like there's another couch behind the door, leaving room only for a rear bath. So it probably doesn't have a bedroom.

Those look like the same storage pods I had on my SOB.

Why do you think the cabinets look so low compared to the back of the booth?

Probably the microwave - it hangs down farther than the cabinets on mine, too.

Are you actually in Seattle itself? We used to tell people we were from Seattle because years ago nobody had ever heard of our hometown unless they were real familiar with the area. Smiler
