Re: Cost of yearly maintenance
Reply #26 –
Our coach had a pdi done by an old Foretravel parts manual and mechanic. Sounds great.
I laughed out loud when I was told who it was. He was my old parts manager when I ran our store.
Not the best guy per my personal experience countless times long ago.
So I tuned him out as he mentioned many things checked for condition.
Turns out I was correct.
Long list of needed repairs and upgrades were not mentioned.
Coach would not air up and release the parking brake on the demo drive as the D2 valve was gummed up.
But I bought the coach anyway and have happily spent 20 CB's since rebuilding the coach.
Why? We are not front door coach fans. And the coach was a 40' u320 WTBI mid door. Good luck finding another.
Lots of things will not show up until in actual use or on long drives.
The pdi idea should catch obvious large issues although but is not a magical process obviously.
