possible 82FC35SB project

[Pete Masterson]

Burton,

It's almost always better to find a coach that's in better condition than to buy one that has a potential to become a "project" coach. 

If you are particularly talented at mechanical repairs ... and you like to do that kind of work ... a project coach might be entertaining to work on ... but they're rarely cost effective (that is, the cost of repairs and replacements will probably exceed the savings in a lower price).

The current RV market is very depressed (due to the economy and the recent high fuel prices), so there will most assuredly be "good buys" in Wanderlodges -- in your price range -- without as many negatives as you described. 

Figure that most parts for a Blue Bird or other heavy duty bus-type RV will be 4 to 10 times more expensive than what they might cost for an automobile.

I am a potential newbie. Looking at a 82FC35 the coach has been damage has 3 broken windows and needs a new entry door. The genset will not crank but turns over.  The coach will run appears to need a new alternator. Anyone know where to locate parts and cost to repair or replace alternator?

Thank you for the help
