I pick it up tomorrow but I need to cut the brush back on the road and make more room on the landing for it. I also will be checking every system before I hand over the loot. It has a 7000 watt generator that runs off the gas tank but couldn`t check it because it won`t run unless the gas tank is more than 1/4 full. It also had bad shore batteries but he has some newer ones being charged and the propane was empty. I could only start it up at that point so I`ll come up with my son who can drive the truck back and we will check every system. If it all checks out great, but if it has unexpected problems I`ll ether back out on the deal or ask for a price reduction, It looks good, not lived in and not run down. Been sitting for 4 years and dirty. Small amount of wear and one tire is sun cracked. The others are like new. It has a 460 v8 and automatic tyranny. Queen size bed, tub/ shower with glass door and the couch folds out. I`d like to put solar panels and an inverter, satellite TV and two HDTV`s in it to replace the old ones. Also it needs to have the gas line fixed so I can use external propane tanks as I don`t want to drive it to get it filled once it`s level and in place. Oh hydraulic levelers and even power steps and a backup cam. No slides though but plenty of room with 34 foot bumper to bumper. It`s about 4 foot larger inside than the trailer I`m in now. It is missing a microwave but I have an extra one in storage anyway. Oh and it has a steel roof with insulation and a one piece rubber roof covering it so no problem with snow building up on it! You can stand anywhere on the roof and it has a ladder on the back to get up and a driver`s side door . I priced these and I got it at about 3,000 less than the going rate for a 91 model 34 foot motor home. I`m thinking I might drive it out before the bad weather and rent a nice spot down in SoCal for the winters. I can even set my blazer up to be towed behind it. I`m thinking I`ll keep the trailer and fix it up some and still put it down on the property under a cover. It can just stay year-a-round on the pad. I can use it to trim in and for the trimmers , family and friends to stay in and storage. I`m itching to get back to gardening now!
