Stored in an enclosed building most of its life — never repainted, wrecked, or flooded. Most people who see it in person think it's newer than it is; the paint still looks great.

Owner's notes

This coach is in great shape for its age, and it's ready to hit the road anywhere. We've owned five coaches, and letting this one go is always tough — I know everything about this rig, and starting over with an unknown one is the hard part of any upgrade. No major issues. I do most of the maintenance myself, and anything I don't handle goes to a trusted, knowledgeable shop, so I know exactly what's gone into this coach.
