New member - hi, and a pre-purchase question
I sure don't want to get into a price war here with friends.
I can say this. I paid a fair, not "book" price for my coach 3.5 years ago and I can in retrospect count on two fingers, at $1000 per finger what I have spent on what I will call deferred maintenance. On numerous upgrades that I elected to do including changing out the Primus to Wabasto I have spent less than $10,000. To me, hydronic heat is worth its weight in gold. We all know that reworking the interior of a coach with new upholsery, carpet, tile etc is extremely expensive. A case in point, lately my wife wanted to recover the couch, why I don't know, so I got a bid. I decided I am in the wrong business. They sew, I blow out my knees in the tile business. A new quality paint job is somewhere between $12-20K. I would rather use the coach than work on it every day, but that is just me. If an owner kept track of time at a reasonable hourly rate and parts costs, one would be better off paying the piper at the date of purchase rather than over a period of years, assuming that coach was in the same shape as mine was when I purchased it. But then again, that is just how I think. fwiw Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 "Smoke N Mirrors" Niceville, FL Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 "Smoke N Mirrors" Niceville, FL ----- Original Message ----- From: erniecarpet@...
