Do you mean a "pre-purchase" inspection?

If so, some of our Forum members are currently squatting in the BLM area just south of Quartzsite (an hour from Lake Havasu).

However, I don't think there are any later model (Nimbus) Foretravel coach owners there, so they may not be much help.

Yes, a pre purchase inspection.  I live in Portland Oregon and plan to Fly down next Sunday.  I'm willing to pay a more than fair price😀.  The inspection can be done next Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

I formerly owned a 2007 336 Nimbus - I'm very familiar with it. Never had any problems - The only recommendation I can make is that you have a a mobile mechanic or shop with a Cummins OBD reader and the Cummins software to look and see if it has any fault codes and "abuse codes" like overheating, over speeding to engine etc.  It will show you the history of the engine and "abuse codes" cannot be reset or cleared so it will show you good history.

Please feel to IM me if you need any other info - I'm more than happy to walk you through on any items that I would look for if I were buying it.
