I am looking to purchase my first RV. I have two at which I am looking, and was hoping someone out in RV land might have some experience, and could help me. Both of these are from private sellers.
RV #1 - 1986 35' Winnebago, for $7500.
The description is as follows:
"Sleeps 8, nice kitchen, bath, and twin bedroom in the rear. In great mechanical condition and runs perfect, we drive it monthly. It has new tires last month. Super clean interior with less that 58K miles on it.
The Generator is an Onan with 750 hours on it and runs great with electric start.. ac blows cold, heater works well.. no leaks of any kind. The RV is really in pretty good shape. It has new awnings (1yr old) Bathroom is in perfect condition, holding tanks perfect. The only things it needs to be absolutely perfect is the hot water tank needs to be replaced or rewelded it has a small crack from winterization, and the back ac cover is cracked.. It runs perfect and we use it monthly. It has all new tires less than 2 months old and has been service more than regulary.. I'm always very cautious about the maintenance."
Regarding the hot water tank and back A/C cover, are these relatively easy (and inexpensive) to fix?
Also, the sellers said they would have no problem with me having the RV inspected, prior to purchase, because they did the same thing when they bought it.
===============================
RV #2 - 1987 33' Allegro 33' Basement model, for $7300 OBO
The description:
"The bathroom is in great shape, interior in good shape. I would replace the kitchen counter, however, it is in decent shape. The fridge does not cool, other appliances work. New microwave. Queen bedroom in the rear, kitchen table/sleeper, couch/sleeper and twin above the driver/passenger seat. Stocked with outdoor rug, awning, kitchen supplies, bedding etc."
How much does it cost to fix/replace a fridge, and counter tops?
This seller also has no problems with me having the unit inspected, prior to purchase.
Thanks so much for helping out a first timer!!!!
