I've been looking for a smaller/older class "C" for a while now. Every single ad I respond to I get a run around (5 so far), I try to get more information (what engine, how many miles) and I get "call me" or a response that's completely unrelated to the questions or in a couple of cases no further contact after the first non-response.
Most recent ad I responded to says:
So I asked what I figured was a reasonable list of questions:
The first response I got was "we're camping in it right now".. second try to get answers it was 'sold'. They posted the ad again under a different title and I thought it was a new listing so I responded (on a different email address as it happens) and all of a sudden it's for sale again! Asked a similar list of questions, and it's sold....again.... Just out of curiosity I responded on another address from another domain and.. looky there..it's available again!
I guess I'm lucky, probably don't want a vehicle owned by that person anyway. Funny ad said 'must sell'.. sure fooled me.
Being that we're looking for older/smaller MH, craigslist is the only place I've found with any listings.. but they can't all be idiots!
Am I being unreasonable wanting answers to what I'd consider easy questions?
Most recent ad I responded to says:
1978 class c motor home. Ford motor, 42000 original miles, runs excellent, everything works. 20 foot. Has a battery system to run lights. No issues at all. 2 queen bed and 1 twin. This is an excellent Rv. No leaks, no a/c, No issues what so ever. Been in family since new. Well cared for. Tires are new. Must sell $2500..
So I asked what I figured was a reasonable list of questions:
- what engine
- Somewhere in the RV should be a plate/sticker with load ratings, a picture of the sticker would be perfect. If that's not possible I'd like to know the GVWR and GCVWR
- Is the title in your name
- Is the registration current
- When was the last smog check (approx is fine of course).
- Has it been sitting long
- Has it been winterized
