Nice RV....

But seriously, a guy from NC slinging crap about KC?

R8RFAN 08-05-2013 10:20 AM

Tired of paying 200 per night at Myrtle Beach for a Motel .. Gonna take it out a few times, if I love it, I will keep it... If not I will sell it...

I was already offered 3k more than I paid for it so I don't think it will be hard to sell if I decided it wasn't for me...

Hell Insurance wasn't 245.00 for a whole year and that includes collision

you can off-set the fuel costs by renting it out to bang bros or bang bus.

R8RFAN 08-05-2013 10:25 AM

Now some details about the cool stuff in it...
Of course ac/heat (vents)
Full stand up shower
Queen size bed in master bedroom
4000 watt generator that is very quiet and is controlled with a push of a button inside
100% self contained if you need to live in a walmart parking lot
got one of those satellite dome dish things on top... Hit the button and it finds the satellite for you.
3 burner stove + convection microwave
band new tires all around (2 weeks ago)
New Awning
push button slideout as seen in pics
electric steps

It has lots of windows, they would like that :thumb:

chefsos 08-05-2013 10:27 AM

Far be it from me to come into one of these threads to fart on it, but up there on the side of the overhang- around and under that window- are those shadows or delamination? 'Cause if it's delam it could indicate some structural problems (wood rot) under that skin. Those C class units are notorious for that. Having said that, though, the lack of a window in the front of the nose is definitely in your favor because those were just the worst ever for rain leaks.

When you look in those cabinets around the TV do you see any stains on the walls or ceiling? Or, can you smell faint bleach from the cleanup of said stains?

I've seen what's under the surface of that nose when it needs rebuilding, and it ain't much. Like, 2x2 and Luan.

Ace Gunner 08-05-2013 10:28 AM

have that front end inspected -- new tires always hides front end wear.

I know what you are seeing.. He kept it under a cover and it got so hot it discolored parts of that, it also caused some of the stickers to start to peel... He parked it in my driveway yesterday to go over it with a fine tooth comb and I did... There is no water damage anywhere in the cabinets nose or anything else

Cool. As long there's not a kind of a bubble that you can push in with your finger there around the window, you're relatively OK.

Rain Man 08-05-2013 10:40 AM

I'd like to have one of those, but haven't taken the time to figure out the cost tradeoff of purchase and fuel and parking fees versus just getting a hotel.

No, but good lord, there should be for those 43' Class A diesel monsters. I've seen old ****s attempt to drive one off the lot and run it into a stop sign. Those things had me puckered when I'd drive 'em to a show or something.

Depends on the initial purchase price... + it's a pain in the ass to find clean places when you have a dog...

I like sleeping in my bed also... A bed that I know is clean with clean sheets and comforter + no bed bugs

I have nice lakes and places to go within a 50 mile radius and I am only 200 miles from the beach.

Some electric hookup spots can be had for 15 bucks a night... Go to Myrtle Beach with a dog and after taxes you will drop 200 per night easy unless you want to go to a roach motel.

I think boat operators should have to have a special license here too... We just had a young pregnant woman and son die on a pontoon after a speed boat hit them on High Rock lake here.

Here, I'll make you feel better. See that black lock plate on his entry door? ONE company makes those for almost every RV on the road. And there are about 30 different key sets. So, you're sittin' there at the campground surrounded by 50 or 100 or 200 other units, and the odds are, well, you're a math guy...:evil:

That probably didn't sway you, I guess.

They're just in a weird place in my mental space that just doesn't work for me. Want to stay in a nice place? Get a hotel. Want to go out and experience nature? That's what tents are for.

They're just too damned expensive (both price and cost of ownership) for me to understand the value proposition.

It's known as a Mobile Prison. Easier to catch and house multiples of "them" in one slow moving spot.

Graystoke 08-05-2013 11:26 AM

I like it I do.
But so expensive when you figure the upfront cost + insurance + upkeep + gas + campground fees.
I figure get a nice motel room and do some hiking.

I love camping though so I do get it. Thats why we always owned one of these. It was a daily driver, camping was usually free.

I miss having one..these are getting dang expensive as well.

There are a lot of variables you can play with, but a bit of Googling suggest RV's will save you around $100-$150 per day compared to hotels. (Part of that is assuming you're cooking your own meals rather than eating out.)

So, if we assume you're spending around $25k on a mid-level, used RV, a rough guesstimate (ignoring stuff like time value of money, maintenance, and interest rates) says you'll get your money out of it if you use it for 200 nights or more.

Maybe someday when I retire...

Dayze 08-05-2013 12:36 PM

when I lived in Peculiar, the cool old couple across the street were retired. They would bolt from like October through May to avoid the cold in their BA RV ...it was huge. almost like a Bus.

I'd love to be able to do that someday.

I got a hella deal on it...

Old man and his wife are not in good health and asked me to come down and take pictures to post on craigslist to sell it for them... I got to looking at it and asked him what his cash bottom dollar monday he would take for it... and everything that goes with it including a the car dolly.winegard roadtrip HD satellite antenna (900.00 +) brand new set of tires 1000.00+ all the shit that goes with it including cover and brand new awning (600.00) all silverware, plates, utensils, all supplies needed + many not needed.. a 450 dollar electric heater to go to extreme cold places (I won't need it) mini eureka boss vacuum cleaner, 25 gallons of gas, full propane system. 4000 watt on board generator. Complete Dish Network HD receiver, DVD/VHS combo player

He gave me a price and I took it... I did not try to beat him down a bit.



I gave him exactly what he asked for it... And it's nowhere near NADA
