This is for people who own one or have owned one. Please tell me about it's good points and bad points. Rubber roof or fiberglass roof? Miles per gallon and at what speed on highway?
Looking to buy one and hoping it is a good coach. But need info from owners or past owners. Anything you have will help. Thanks.
Please do not move this to any other forum.

I have a 96 been to 15 countries with it owned it 9 years.Best thing I ever bought.Mine has a 5.9 cummins 12 valve with an allison box.Spartan chassis and granning self levelling suspension.Rubber roof but no leaks to date.It returns 12.5 miles to the imperial(english) gallon this is 4.56 litres compared to the 4 litres of the american gallon.It will run at 75 easily if you need to pass someone but I tend to stick to 62 mph to get the best mileage. I have towed a suzuki jeep on a 4 wheel trailer many times over the years and it usually reduces the mileage by about 1 mile to the gallon.Its not the fastest up hills when towing but always gets there and I have travelled some serious mountains all over europe.The insulation, dual pane windows, and heated holding tanks, make this an all year round vehicle, and the quality of the woodwork is very good and pleasing to the eye.I like the ducted aircon which is usually only found on much more expensive vehicles,the number of extras and interior lights is amazing for a vehicle in this range.The ring of steel construction and plumbing manifold system put many more expensive rv,s to shame.I could go on but hope you have a happy time in it if you buy one.Good luck.

I looked at a 32' 99 that had an 210 hp ISB and a 4 speed trans in it.
You really want a 6 speed trans.
