THIS IS A GOOD WORKING MOTORHOME. THE REASON FOR SELLING IS WE ARE UPGRADING TO A NEWER ONE. NO RESERVE, HIGH BID GETS IT. PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU CAN NOT PAY FOR IT. THANKS I BOUGHT THIS IS MAY OF 2007. IT SAT IN A LADIES YARD FOR 9 YEARS PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I HAVE DONE ALL THE HARD WORK FOR YOU, IT JUST NEEDS SOME TLC AND FINE TUNING NOW. THE CAB WAS PAINTED TWO YEARS AGO SO IT WILL SHINE A LITTLE. ENGINE: RUNS GREAT, IT IS A 350 BORED .060 SO ITS LIKE A 400 NOW I GUESS. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILD BY BOBBY SUMMERLIN IN ELM CITY,N.C. HE BUILDS RACE CAR ENGINES AND HAS A GREAT REPUTATION.ASK AROUND. THE MACHINE WORK (BORE,SHAVE HEADS,ETC) WAS DONE BY H & F PERFORMANCE WILSON,N.C. (OVER $1000.00 WORTH) ENGINE HAS LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT AT BEST,VERY FEW. THE ENGINE WAS TAKEN OUT AND REPLACED BY ANOTHER SHOP. TRANSMISSION WORKS GREAT. TIRES: BRAND NEW CAMPER RATED TIRES WERE PURCHASED 5-16-07. THEY ARE EXCELLENT WITH LESS 1000 MILES ON THEM. THE ROOF AIR WORKS GREAT. ELECTRIC OR OFF THE GENERATOR. THE GENERATOR WORKS GREAT. THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT COMING ON SO I HAVE TO RUN A STRAIGHT WIRE TO THE BATTERY SOURCE TO RUN THE GENERATOR. BUG IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD OR ??? THE SPEEDOMETER AND CRUISE CONTROL WORKED FINE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THEY DO NOT WORK NOW. THE CARBURETOR COULD USE SOME WORK. THE CHOKE WANTS TO STICK SOMETIMES AND AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS YOU WILL WEAR YOUR LEG OUT PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER THAT IT WILL START UP WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS FOR A FEW DAYS OR UNTIL IT SITS A FEW WEEKS. BRAND NEW BATTERY, ABOUT 2 MONTHS OLD. MARINE BATTERY WITH SOLAR TENDER ON SIDE TO RUN LIGHTS AND WATER PUMP. EXHAUST SYSTEM: NEEDS HELP, ITS LOUD. YOU WILL NOT SNEAK UP ON ANYONE ! GENERATOR NEEDS MUFFLER ALSO. I REPLACED THE AWNING, ITS NICE FABRIC BUT THE SPRING IS MESSED UP SO I HAVE TO STAND ON A TABLE AND HANDLE ROLL THE ASSEMBLY BACK UP. THE SHOWER AND SINKS WORK WELL FROM THE PUMP WHICH RUNS OFF A BATTERY. THE REFRIGERATOR WORKS. WORKS OK ON ELECTRIC. THE GAS PART WORKS BUT IS KIND OF RIGGED UP. THE GAS HEATER WORKS, THE THERMOSTAT CONTROLS IT PROPERLY. THE GAS WATER HEATER WORKS, ITS PRETTY PRIMITIVE. KIND OF LIKE A PILOT LIGHT UNDER A METAL BOWL.HEY THAT IS WHAT RV PEOPLE CALL A WATER HEATER. THE STOVE AND OVEN WORK GREAT. THE GAS TANK HAS THE LARGE FITTING SO IT HAS TO BE FILLED AT A TRUCK STOP OR BY A GAS TRUCK. MY INDEPENDENT SELF EMPLOYED GAS MAN MADE ME A HOSE AND FITTING SO NOW BY INSERTING THIS HOSE TO THE QUICK DISCONNECT, EVERYTHING CAN BE RUN BY A REGULAR LP TANK (LIKE THE ONE ON YOUR GAS GRILL) THIS IS NICE WHEN THERES NO FILLING STATION AROUND. WHAT ELSE ? JUST ASK . 10 DAY AUCTION SO COME SEE IN PERSON, BRING ANY RV EXPERT, MECHANIC,ETC TO INSPECT. THIS IS A GOOD MOTORHOME, NOT A GREAT $50,000 ONE. IT WILL TAKE YOU ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO GO RIGHT NOW AND YOU CAN RUN THE GENERATOR AND HAVE COLD AIR CONDITIONING. YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK ON AND TINKER WITH SOMETHING EVERY TIME YOU GO. IF YOU ARE SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND YOU HAVE A KNOWLEDGE OF MOTORHOMES OR ARE WILLING TO LEARN PATIENTLY THIS BABY WILL WORK FINE FOR YOU. IF YOU THINK YOUR GOING TO GO CAMPING AND EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY JUST BY PUSHING A BUTTON THEN YOU NEED TO GO BUY ONE OF THOSE $50,000 DEALS AND LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE. I EASILY HAVE $6,000 IN THIS CAMPER. $2,500 IN THE ENGINE ALONE. I AM ASKING 4,800 CASH BUT SINCE THE SALE OF THIS ONE GOES TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF MY NEW ONE (YOU CAN'T MESS W/MONEY they say) IT IS OFFERED HERE ON THIS AUCTION AT NO RESERVE. HIGH BID GETS IT. PLEASE BRING CASH OR WE WILL MEET AT ANY BANK IN WILSON,N.C. SPEAKING OF WILSON, I AM TAKING THIS MOTORHOME TO THE FAIRGROUNDS TODAY (THURSDAY 7-8-10 THROUGH SUNDAY 7-11-10) AND WILL BE THERE ALL WEEKEND CAMPING. COME SEE ME. I WILL TAKE SOME MORE PHOTOS AND POST NEXT WEEK. MY CELL # IS 252-230-5105 JEFF On Jul-15-10 at 11:56:06 PDT, seller added the following information: 7-15-10 I CANCELED THE HIGH BIDDER. SO THE BID WENT FROM 4,750.00 BACK TO 2,225.00 AT THIS TIME. HE WANTED ME TO SHIP THE RV TO ALBANIA,EUROPE BUT WAS LISTED AS BEING IN THE USA. HIS CONTACT INFORMATION WAS PRIVATE AND NO RETURN EMAIL SO HES OUT. THE SECOND PLACE GUY JUST OPENED AN ACCOUNT 7-14-2010 AND I AM AWAITING HIS RESPONSE. On Jul-17-10 at 17:36:35 PDT, seller added the following information: OK, LAST NIGHT OF AUCTION. I HAD TO CANCEL BIDS FROM AND BLOCK EBAY MEMBERS MIRELAGJONI64 AND 2010ASCEND. THESE TWO RAN THE BID UP TO 4,700.00 BUT NEITHER OF THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION WAS VALID. ZERO FEEDBACK. SO AT THIS TIME THE BID WENT DOWN TO 2,025.00 LOTS OF WATCHERS,HOPE SOME OF YOU BID. THANKS.
