2003 Journey L

[Ed S]

Looking for some thoughts for a friend of mine who is looking at a 2003 Journey L to buy. 300 Cummings, Freightliner chassis, 22,000 miles.

Anyone with thoughts about this purchase??? This would be his first rv and I know you will have the pro and con regarding this coach. I looks very clean from pics.

Thank you and appreciate your response.

Hi Ed, We sold a 2002 36' Journey DL in March of this year. We owned it for 4 years and really enjoyed the coach. We changed out the tires and shocks and got it riding better that any coach we have owned. The coach your friend is looking at needs new tires if they have not been replaced. There was a recall on the hydraulic lines to the slides (HWH)--both of mine had to be replaced. There was a problem with the heater core under the front hood leaking antifreeze. It seemed to be very prevalent around those years. The front of the coach has to come off to make the repair. The upgraded 4 door refrigerator also had a recall---that was an easy fix. Some people had problems with the basement AC unit. We did not and it worked great. I did replace the thermostat due to a bad switch. We do like Winnebago and how their coaches are put together. Best of luck to your friends with whatever they decide. John
