1992 sp?

[Donald Spithaler]

I think the same as you Leroy. I have an 89 SP 36' & it has been a great coach for the 5 years we have owned it. Never let us down out on the road. The Cat is a good engine & low maintenance & the ZF tranny has been good to us also.

It may be overpriced who knows. From reading your posts I gather you are quite a bit younger than I, and I admire someone who selected the RV lifestyle far younger that I did. Although I had a hell of a time flying airplanes all those years, I had to rent a car, a motel and only I know what else. I wonder sometimes if owning a motor coach would have been better. Can't look back now because it was fun at the time and time has passed. All I am trying to pass along is if someone finds a well maintained coach, pay the money, because you pay now or pay later with these beasts. Minor changes to meet your personal taste is cheap compared to serious mechanical issues. When I say I have not spent $@#t on my coach in four years I mean it. I have spent some serious money to update it and add personal touches but that means nothing to the Seller; unless I am the Seller.

Saw lots of 'em for sale for ~$80-$90k a little over a year ago when I was in the market. I'm not talking about beaters, either. While you wonder why we question prices, I wonder why people ask so much for their coach that it never sells and let it sit on the market for years on end. I mean, it's no sweat off my back, but it does baffle my mind. :-) I bought a super clean coach with nothing wrong with it. I still have to fix things here and there; it's old, things fail, but I'd turn the key right now and drive cross country without a concern if I had a reason to. Maybe I'm wrong and someone will run out and give 'em $80k for it. I hope they do, but I suspect we'll see it relisted closer to $65k-70k this fall. -Ryan '86 PT-40 8V92 On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 3:32 PM, Leroy Eckert <"jwasnewski%40yahoo.com"> wrote: > I continue to wonder why we BB owners keep shooting our feet off about > price.
