Looked at this rig today, was pleasantly surprised at its condition, tires were a year old and LT's, the body was in great condition considering its age, just needs a good detail job, the inside was very clean, no smoke smell, the only thing that needs attention is the stove it could use a good cleaning.
The owner had already spent $800 on a lot of nitpicking things, fixed air, new wiper motors, new radio & disk player, new battery, hoses and belts, filled up the propane. It probably will need shocks as he didn't change them. I drove on the highway smooth no drifting if you let go of the wheel so the alinement is ok.
I am not going to buy it but a think I would have made an offer except when I drove it I could not get my left foot to rest anywhere that was not awkward but the real deal killer was there was table of any kind to eat off of, no dinette like other B's I have seen but the price was not that bad for what I have seen in my price range which is 10k or below, I know I am not going to get a lot for that price range but that is what I have to work with.
There are a couple Roadtrex B's within my driving area, one is a 61 with 120k miles for $6900 the other is a 88 for 9k with 137k mile on it which I think is a little high in milage and price. If the 61 was a little closer I probably go look at it but it would be an overnighter for me and I don't have that kind of time, got to get it done in one day.
I'll just keep looking each morning and I am sure something will come up.
Did see a Toyota C which is small but has a lot of room inside but I don't think I like sitting that low and the 94HP engine is sure to be working hard on some of the mountain roads around where I live.
