Joe, Larry did sell his and he was asking 20k obo. As it is  100 miles from them then I guess whoever bought it lives there !!!

Thanks John! When I spoke with Larry, he was ready to dump it.  It just wasn't the coach for us and we wished him well.  I'm pretty sure that is his old coach and it is a '96 with I believe, 179k on miles.

Definitely compromised flooring in that wet bay. Look to the left of the sewage drain pipe.

It was a bargain for 20 Gs in my opinion.

Actually Johnhart is a salesman-- at least, the Craigslist listing is under "by dealer". So, the ad in our classified section and on the thread here have been removed.

Craiglist listings are sometimes a scam. They take a picture of another persons' posts and reposts it to craiglist for a bargain price. Hoping to get a deposit. All pictures on enet can be googled to see if it was posted previously. The reason I have seen this is when following UTV for sale. Some UTV 13years old are asking $6500 and then you will see a 2014 UTV for $5500 and you know it is a scam. A John Deere UTV that is 5 years old is selling for $7500 and then there is the 2015 Deere that is $5500.
Since UTV are something farmers are interested in buying, one can go to Used Farm Equipment for Sale | Machinery Pete and see the selling prices of all thing farm related.
