Well, it peaked my curiosity enough that I drove out to Houston and checked it out. Not anywhere near as nice as what the guy described over the phone. On the phone, I was told that the RV never had leaks. It just happened to rain the night before I saw it so I surporized the guy so as to not give enough time to hide problems. There was obvious evidence of previous leakage (he changed his story and said he'd sealed the roof) and then I found water dripping onto the drivers area (he said the windows just needed to be sealed - until I pointed out that the water was coming in above the window) The whole thing smelled musty.
I'm glad we caught him off gaurd because we saw that lots of the 12V switches were hanging out. apparently they were in the process of rewiring lots of stuff and he couldn't get several things to work.
I started the rig and drove it around and shut it back off, but he couldn't get it to restart. He blamed it on a "bad battery cable" "These things just cant start without every amp the battery has" but I noticed that when I turned the key that the lights did not dim nor did the volts drop. In the end, he pulled the engine cover off and started it by putting a screwdriver across the solenoid. "I'll show you how to do that" No thanks.
The upholstry was not "In great shape" but rather dirty and worn with cigarette burns everywhere. The carpet was filthy and the headliner was falling out.
The one great thing about it is that I LOVED driving it. It rode like a dream and puts the Toyota chassis on my Odyssey to shame. I can totally handle the level of noise emitted from the Front Engine Diesel, its really not bad at all. I want one just like it, only much better.
