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.
