I am looking at the above unit and thinking about purchasing it. It appears to be well used. Is there anything specific I should be looking at that is problematic with this coach? Thanks for the help.

We've been fulltiming in one since 2010 and have had very few problems. If you but it, feel free to contact me with any questions etc.

Thanks for the offer. I think the unit I'm looking at has also been lived in. The furniture is well worn and the slide toppers are torn. What is the levelling jack system that is used? Is it HWH?

RV furniture is available on-line like f.x. here. Some people also successfully re-upholster their chairs, couches and so on. If the RV price is reasonable you could set aside a bit of cash to freshen up the interior

New high quality slide-out toppers can be bought here for around $1000 in total (material only). Fitting them is a "do-it-yourself" job. Takes a friend, 2 ladders and some basic tools.

Levelling jacks are probably by PowerGear

IIRC there are two NHTSA recalls on this MY Camelot, one is for the brake pedal, it's easy do see if it's been done and is a DIY project of about 30 minutes otherwise, the other was an exterior lighting issue. I'd also check the transfer switch, if it's the OEM IOTA I'd prioritize getting that replaced.

We have air leveling and I believe its Power Gear -- I've been really happy with that system.

Otherwise our coach has been pretty much trouble free. We don't much care for the Dometic reefer, and it's on the list for replacing with a residential unit at some point.
