Oh well, I hate to call a person a liar, but this owner is trying to pull the wool over my eyes. I did not expect a perfect coach, but don't tell me the interior is new when -well- it WAS new back about 15 years ago. The AC on the roof is also not from 2005, more like 1985 and the fridge is original 1977. Sad sad shape. I could not take a picture, my husband was dragging me out and the owner was more interested to get back to his football game. Here is what I scribbled down for the numbers:
S7707 2259 MC 28S-3
CPY3773319061
Chevrolet Date 4/77
7/1/77
GVWR 12,300
To the outside: Not bad, missing a couple lights (owner "oh, I just see that now), top half bare aluminum, could be polished beautifully, bottom white/black paint in good shape). Back up camera removed, hole badly patched. Tires good. Fill in for fresh water stuffed with deteroating piece of plastic bag (looked nasty, I would not put fresh water thru that hole). Has airbags holding air. All in all I liked the outside (needed some window rubber replaced). Inside another story. First the whole ceiling is rotten. You can see the aluminium structure thru the ceiling (or whats left of it). He said I quote "it NEVER leaked" (sorry but that is just BS). It is so rotten your pinky finger will push thru. He finally admitted the three sky lights leaked but he replaced them all... Well I pulled down the overhead bed over the drivers seat and the whole ceiling was rotten there too (no sky light). The fridge is 1977, no shelves, nasty and bottom cover missing. Stove ok, cabinets fine expect one has water damage from ceiling leaks. The carpet is mustard brown, old and nasty, the "new" upholstery is some kind of seagreen, itself ok. The couch is a simple cheapy RV fold out couch, open on bottom. On passenger side all thats left is the little table - no chairs. The window treatments are 1977 and so sunfaded and rotten, they are falling apart. No curtain upfront. Twin beds, 2 holes in carpet - I guess for the table. Bathroom allright, mirror in door on cabinet broken, broken pieces just hanging in there. Table top stored in cabinet damp. Light covers missing everywhere. The owner insisted the AC was new in 2005 but that thing was taped with scotch tape and we have been around RVs long enough, that is no 2005 model. It is not 1977, but somewhere in between. The coach cranked right up and ran, but if the owner can even admit his ceiling is leaking, how would I know he replaced the brakes? The generator has not been used in over one year, but he says is works (even he does no crank it). It is rough. He hushed us out of there "I got someone at 5 o'clock thats going to buy it" and "I got 3 more emails". We wished him good luck and left. Oh well.
Back on the road, there is one more to see. This was supposed to be a little roadtrip, now it's more like across America in one week. Hey, watch out we are coming to your town next. Maybe we will find whats suits both of us.
