To buy or not to buy?

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

RW:
We purchased our coach a year ago, and on our maiden voyage drove it from
Florida to northern B.C. This voyage was without incident, thanks to Randy
Dupree, who did a lot of work to ready the coach.
The learning curve has been steep, and still lots more to learn. Unlike you,
I am okay with the electrical side and weak on the mechanical.
We chose the rear side bed as my wife did not want to sleep alone.
I think the rear bath would be a good choice for you, as your teenagers can
have seperate beds and then there is a double bed up front.
There are pros and cons to both layouts, and it is only you and your family
can decide if it is the right one for you.
I am a bus nut, but for the money, design, installed equipment and layout you
cannot beat the Wanderlodge. Also the biggest, SAFETY, is the best.
Good luck on your choice, hopefully you become a bird member.
Where on the praire are you from??

I'm on the verge of purchasing a 1984 FC33 rear bath. The coach is in
excellent condition with recent interior remodel, new paint job, new
generator, good mechanical maintenance, etc. The price is below $30k.
I'm a pretty good mechanic and fair electrician. I have two early
teen daughters and a loving wife I want to show the country to. My
question is this... is the cost and maintenance challenge of owning
one of these older birds worth the effort or do most people who buy on
eventually get overwhelmed and wish they had just gone fishing? I see
a lot of 4-figure repairs in the various notes going back and forth.
I guess I'm just a little paranoid at this point of making my fun too
much work.

Any thoughts you have to offer will be appreciated.
