Actually did check with Cummins; no record of service.  FOT does have some records, and at least told me nothing major.  Yes, it is the coach that was listed for 43.5k.  The story is that the owner passed away, and the cosignee was an agent for the estate sale.  And whether you agree or not, that price is within the NADA average retail. I feel that I got an extremely good deal. The coach is in remarkably good condition.  The exterior shows some shadow lines of the original graphics that had been removed, and my plan is to remove the current graphics, and sand/buff/polish the entire coach to get the gel coat back to sterling condition.

Exactly where mine is now.  There are deals out there but you have to be the "big" guy and be willing to fix things both large and small.

The 97's appear to have a fairly small volume dash air system.  A poster had a picture of a 99 here and the a/c tubing was much larger and the hoses larger to the dash vents.  Dash appears similar so maybe an update might be worth checking into.  No not cheap I assume.

My fuel line is bad also.  Rear A/c cover came off today on the road.  15 years old stuff fails.  Duh.  The chassis air controller on mine sticks also.  Air pressure drops locking parking/safety brake.

Then will fill....intermittent.  Part not expensive just gets oil fouled per my mechanic buddy.

Shocks need tightening as the Koni's are adjustable.  Plus my suspension makes noise from the bushings as it goes through its travel.  Anyone fixed this issue?
