Yes, Jeffy took me on a "road trip" to see this coach today ... in 108 degree heat. It is NOT in "excellent" shape in any area that I could see. I did not do more than look into the interior because the drop down step is missing and I had new knees installed 6 weeks ago. I might have climbed in, but getting back out was another matter! The interior is very dirty, it has been painted over the gel coat ( I think) and there is a lot of "crazing" going on. There is a roof leak and the headliner as seen from the door is hanging down. It was towed to this location and a cap (?) was lost on the end of the driveshaft. The guy said that they put a battery in it just to try the engine and that it started. He also referenced a water line in the front that was broken when it was towed (don't know what that could be). It is not in the worst shape that I have ever seen ... but would definitely be a HUGE project. It is really just very, very dirty in the interior. All the windows were intact, there was minor body damage around wheel well trims, etc. Could be worse. I gave the fellow (Chuck?) a card for the Forum ... he may get on here and try getting some feedback about various systems. He told us that he just had a feeling that there was a lot of quality underneath the obvious issues and that the coach "just didn't seem dead, yet." He bought it at an auction. It needs love, for sure. I had the distinct feeling that it had been used for a long time by someone who just parked it and couldn't continue ... maybe the family didn't know what to do with it after someone passed on ... and it just sadly sat somewhere for a number of years.
