2005 Vectra/Horizon Questions
We have been looking for a Meridian 36G (2006-2008), but have not had luck finding a good deal where we can also trade in our C. We had the opportunity to look at a local 2005 40 foot Vectra and really liked the upgraded feel to the interior as well as what appears to be better storage because of the different chassis? The 40 foot is too big for us, but there is a reasonable deal on a 36 foot about a 2.5 day drive away.
Questions/concerns regarding a 2005 Vectra 36RD:
I read something about possible overloading on the steering axle, but that the tires went to LR H in 2006 and that solved the problem. We will be towing an enclosed trailer (close to 10k pounds) with a weight distribution hitch. Anyone have firsthand experience with the weights on this model/year?
Is the coach fully functional with all of the slides in? We overnight a lot at Flying J, and I could probably extend a bedroom slides, but not much else. Additionally, any issues with leaving the passenger living room slide in all of the time? We don't think we are going to like eating into the awning space outside. We have a one living room slide coach now, so I am guessing we will end up with the same amount of space.
Will the Evolution chassis be an upgrade over the chassis on the Meridian? Any other major differences between the two coaches?
If you own a Vectra, are you happy with it? Anything I should watch out for or ask about? I have read about slide leaks and that is definitely my biggest concern. Were they common on this model?
Sorry for so many questions. This coach is just so far away and it's on consignment, so I cannot speak with the owner. Thanks for your help!!
