There is a full inspection being done tomorrow by a professional. Also the owner will be picking me up at the airport and then letting me drive the coach to his house which is 20+ minutes away. Worse case is I fly home.

Since you will be running empty it should be OK. Just be sure tires really look OK and are fully inflated to placard inflation. Would definitely keep speed a low as safely possible.

When you get new tires be sure to get a TPMS.

Mileage is a red flag for me. I almost backed off when we bought our 2005 coach with 24,000 miles. The only thing was the owners were personal friends and club members and I knew how it was cared for.

Yes. That's where the furniture came from. From the picture I recognize it as the same furniture we bought for our coach a couple of years ago.

If it's Mohomodel-specific, you might want to put the TPMS you just ordered on hold, too- just in case!

I would also check to see how much documentation comes with the rig. I am not talking about receipts. I am talking about manuals for each and every feature of the coach. Does it come with the schematics?

Comes with everything as well as miles driven log. Owner says he has every booklet that came with the rig.
