2006 Essex

Seriously looking at a 2006 Essex 4508 Sommerset. Do any of you know of common problems with this model? What should I be aware of. Thinking of flying 3000+ miles to personally check it out.
Thanks

Definitely a nice coach. Just keep in mind comfort drive came out on the Essex in '07. NADA Guides show $215K low retail to $250K average for 06 and for an 07 they show $250K low to $300K average retail.

I have had no major problems. It just turned 49,000 miles on way home from Florida Keys.

Thanks to all who responded. I am putting a deposit on this coach contingent upon inspection. Still have concerns because the seller is, I believe, a broker (Auto Boss, Inc. RV and Marine Sales) so maintenance records are non existent. Please see my plea for help in a new thread.

Let us know how you make out. I emailed them many times on that unit and never got a response. If it checked out good I was going to buy it. You beat me to it so good luck love to know how it is when you get there.
