Information Please - '85 PT36 on Ebay

[Markus Meyer]

I've got a PT40 with 6V92. Prefer that to the 8V. Power is fine (I'm not drag racing it), and slightly better reliability, as the 8V's are more prone to overheating issues than the 6V's, being a smaller engine stuffed into the same space as the larger 8V.



Just my opinion.

John, my favorite question for a Wanderlodge seller is "What doesn't work?". These are incredibly complex coaches, and if the seller says everything works, it is a rare coach indeed. More likely the seller is fibbing. His answer will give you a lot of insight into the seller and the coach. If you view the coach, have the seller show you how EVERYTHING works.

It's not that everything can't be repaired, but a neglected coach may look nice, but have tons of deferred maintenance items. You may or may not care about many of the little features that have quit working, but it can really add up the $$$ if you have to pay someone to get them in order.

Also, before you buy that PT36 with the 6V92 engine, you should look at a PT40 with an 8V92. LOTS more power and storage if you don't mind a little longer coach.
