Thanks for the info about older, low mileage. So the diesel opportunity flaked out--but I still have the Hawkins bug. I am offered a Gas, 36 foot, 41k miles, 1989, 460 and a 1985, 36 foot, with 8k miles, and 454. Can you say something about these gas rigs? also Fleetwood Limited 1989 with about 120k miles, 36 foot gas? I like these both for solid wood interiors more likely to resist Mexican bugs on the Pacific Coast where I plan to us a coach for about ten years. My budget is about 8,000--new tires and preventive maintenance included--so its a small field. Other suggestions?

I am looking at a 36 foot Hawkins with the same Catepillar/Allison combo you owned. Did you ever figure out your mpg? Needs half a windshield and I am wondering if I should check it out. 5,000 is the price. 34,000 miles. What should i be careful to check for? I have a former soninlaw who is a diesel mechanic in southern Cal--so I am not tood afraid of engine spruce up.

Purchased a 2000 40J UA year ago Cat 300hp my mileage is between 7 to 9 dependig on the wind, tell me how ofter due you change the oil, I'm using dello 400 bot my change.
