Looking to purchase used 1992 WB40

Steve: You are doing the correct thing. Coachcraft does a fine job. The
Wabasto Scholastic went into the area where the two Primus boilers were. I now
have a single loop, single thermostat hydronic system the works very well.
There is a side benefit. The gas feed line to the Primus can be used to feed an
outside grill and bean pot.
What ever the Primus did the Wabasto does far better.

I am throwing in the towel on my Flakey Primus next week, replacing with
Webasto Scholastic Heater, see
http://www.webasto.us/am/en/am_busses_heaters_2780.html . The install will
be done by Coachcraft in Columbus GA. Talk to Kenny Rodgers if you want an
idea of cost etc for this conversion, as Leroy says not cheap. Kenny told
me that if you use this unit it will fit on the existing tray the Primus is
on and the bulk oil fill will not have to be removed. If you replace with a
larger AQUA HOT in the same position the bulk oil fill needs to go.

If you want to keep the Primus units Stephen Birtles is the person to talk
to!

NO FINANCIAL ITEREST here.

I am looking at purchasing a used 1992 WB40, I was wanting to know
what things to look out for on this year model. I was told by the
current owner that one of the Primus heaters is a little flaky, and as
I understand by reading at various places that this should be of
concern since there is only one place to get parts. He said he did
not know what the issue was as it works sometimes, and does not
others, but the other unit works all the time. New fridge. Cooktop
and washer/dryer have not been used during the current owners 10 year
term.

What other items should I look for while inspecting a coach of this
year model that might be a big ticket items?

Coach has ~140K miles ~3000 hours on 8V92, 4 years on tires (kept
inside), 4 years on GEL cells (low batt charger plugged in while in
storage).

Thanks,
Michael
