To buy or not to buy?

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

--- RW:
Price seems OK....Make sure you will be happy with the REAR BATH
MODEL as the bedding area is different than most of the FC's. I've
heard the rear baths are more difficult to sell also. If a rear bath
fits your needs..no problem...have you compared it to the SIDE BATH
model BEFORE you buy??
Just my 2 cents worth to you.
