This was kind of like the story about finding a 1940 Ford coupe in a farmer's machine shed.

The original owner, a farmer (more like an agri-businessman), bought this new with the idea of doing some travel upon retiring in 2003. Unfortunately his wife fell ill. Fortunately she recovered but they got interested in other things and did not do the traveling originally planned.

Fortunately for us, he parked this in his climate controlled garage among many other personal vehicles. He said he took it out for a spin every couple of months and I've found no reason to doubt that.

It had 6,500 miles on it when we bought it and 65 hours on the generator.



It had most of the options that we were looking for with the exception of a second vanity sink.

I give you the prize for the find of the year! That is a beautiful coach! The fact that the previous owner knew enough to take it for a spin regularly is a huge plus - that means he took care of it the right way. Have fun and safe travels!

Thanks for all of the kind words. Am in the process of wading through familiarization with all the gadgets. It's almost, I said "almost", like work!
