Generator starts, runs the Air. Conditioning units. Glass (ALL window/windshield) condition?.. .cracks, chips, etc. Check ALL tire build dates. Build Date is molded into the tire side wall. Tires older than 7 years should be replaced. Use $400.00/tire. Window Screens? Condition? Body Paint Condition? Scratches? Scuffs? Dents? Wheels, Scratches, Dings, etc? Interior flooring, dinette, couch, chairs, drivers seat condition. Service Records? Ask what does not work? That's a start. The check list is a good one.

I think I have found a coach (1986 PT36) that will meet my needs and budget. I will be traveling from San Francisco to St. Louis the weekend of the 29th to view the coach. I have printed a check list off of the vintage bird site to help me inspect the coach. Can anyone let me know of any major components that I should check out that can possibly be a deal breaker on a 1986 coach?
