Howdy all,
After a lot of searching and looking at many different options I finally bought myself a new to me RV. This is a rare unit and was only built by Host for a short time. It only has 26K miles on it and seems to be in fairly good shape. It is a conversion motorhome on a 2008 Ford F550 4X4 chassis and is a Lariat trim level.

I'm going to be replacing the current couch with a dual recliner/theater seats instead.

Has a dual door Dometic refrigerator

Nice sized shower

Short queen mattress in both the rear and overhead area.

Lots of storage and a rear entertainment center. I'll be replacing this TV also with a Smart TV soon.

One of the first things that I did was to replace the TV in the living room with a 50" Smart TV.

Don't know why some of my pictures rotated on me but you get the idea.

It has a 5500w LP generator

Outside entertainment center

Crew cab chassis with a DVD player for the back seats

Level Best leveling system

Nice sized kitchen with a Sharp convection/microwave oven & 3 burner cook top.

Looking back towards the front of the coach

Being a lower right leg amputee I needed something that had some room and would be comfortable to move around in.

Again I have NO IDEA why my pictures are getting all screwed up so I apologize.

Is this considered a Class C or Super C?

Thanks. Now to make it mine. Hope to have some great times in it.

The dealership I just bought it from replaced the house batteries. Wish I'd known they were going to as I would have upgraded them.

So on that note I want to boondock with it and at some point want to upgrade to lithium batteries but have NO idea what I should be looking at.
Been thinking about going with Battleborn but am open to ideas and suggestions.

If only they made the large cab-over section seamless. Be sure to inspect it a couple times a year for breached seam work.

One thing going for that rig is the front tires located so far forward. That should ease cab-over resonation.

I have a question. Are you able to get from the house to the driver seat and back again without going outside?

This was a consignment rig and as they were getting it ready to sell to me they found a area of the roof that was bad. So I'm getting a new roof out of the deal with no charge to me. Which makes me happy and feel better about buying it.

You could but it'd be some maneuvering to climb over the stock center console between the front seats.

Could you remove the center console to improve "ease of access" to the front seats?

Very nice looking rig. I would look at making the bedroom a living room and maybe the overhead the bedroom. That big window cries to be used for something other than shutting one’s eyes.
