Looking to purchase used 1992 WB40

[Leroy Eckert]

There is a fairly comprehensive check list on http://www.vintagebirds.com. Perhaps
there is a forum member near you or the Bird that could help. There are forum
members that will do an inspection for a fee. What is your location?
As for the flaky Primus, Stephen Birtles http://www.capeinnovation.com can help you
there. I had a flaky Primus and converted to Wabasto diesel fired hydronic
heat. It's a little pricey but I am very happy with the system.
Now I use LP gas for the outside grill, refer(while in transit) and cooktop. I
don't get overly concerned with LP leaks because the tank is off most of the
time. I haven't filled the LP tank in two years.

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
