1998 Fleetwood Bounder 36s Chevy worth buying?
I am looking for a motorhome to primarily use as a weekend home for a church I pastor that is away from my home. I have 4 kids, 13yr down to 2yr, and we are on a very limited budget. I have found a 1998 Bounder 36S Chevy chassis listed for $8900. It needs two batteries, alternator (giving 12v instead of 13 according to the seller), and the auto brake doesn't work so the hydraulics don't work.
I've read the major issues with that brake, and I am wondering if it is still a good buy at that price and pay to have that brake issue fixed? It doesn't have any soft spots (he says, I was going to look at it tomorrow but not if you guys say no) and the skylight in the bathroom leaked a little, but no longer does. It seems clean for the year based on photos, but my final decision was going to come when I went to look. He also recommended resealing the roof.
We are having to stay under 12-15k. I have good credit, and I can go up to 25-30k, however that would stretch our payments much longer and I was really needing to get something I could pay off within a couple of years. Again, the main use would be leaving it at the church as a trailer, with only moving it sometimes to empty and get the thing moving around some. I would like to use it for trips a few times a year as well.
