Thank you for the insight and look forward to any more you may have. We did a preliminary walk through and looked at most everything you mentioned above and it all functioned well. Have to get on the roof and play with the awning. We still have to do a final hopefully the end of this week. They are also supposed to change the fluids and filters also check the alignment and brakes, it had a slight pull to the right during the test drive. We are currently going out the door at about 101K.
Thank you again for the insight.

Not sure if I mentioned it in this thread or another. The motor for the awning is on the front arm and we did have a situation where she didn't want to retract after a long weekend getaway. Turns out the tube end cap are newly modified because the old design would strip out the hole in the end cap. Old design had a round shaft with a single flat side. New design shaft has 2 flat sides and cap the same. Sold as an assembly for around $300! As it turned out carefree of Colorado has a 5 year warranty on the unit and I was lucky enough to find a local supplier who was willing to order it for me and let me replace it myself (labor not inc in warranty). 20 minutes to change assembly. I did have to "fudge" the delivery date a bit to keep it within warranty. They didn't require proof of delivery, just the serial number off the tag on inside of front awning arm at the bottom of it. Problem solved. Hope it works out for you. You're going to love the rig. Rides great. I would suggest getting an ext warranty for the driveline if its an option however, as repairs can be quite costly. Good Sam sells them. I used mine to cover my fan clutch otherwise it was going to be around $600. Some engine components like fuel injectors are covered for 50k. Fluid change - ALL- can run a few hundred. I did all mine at 9000 with synthetics and now don't have to worry about transmission or diff for quite a while.

Hey Fred - sorry to hear its not working out for you! I remember when you were first looking at it. Hope you get what you need for it. Have you listed it on the good Sam site? I think I paid $99 to list my Jayco a couple of years ago and there was no time constraint. There were perks to listing it as well that may be worth your looking into. Good luck!

On the subject of tires-
Even though the clock may be showing minimal miles, look at the sidewalls for cracking. These tires are now getting upwards of 4 - 6 years old. If minor cracks are appearing I strongly suggest having them looked at by a professional as you don't want a surprise on the interstate! Mine are exhibiting minor cracks and I intend on making a change in the spring before the next trip. For now she's sitting covered and winterized - sigh!

Thank you for the additional information. I did talk to them about the awning. The tires looked in real good condition and I believe it was stored inside, but that may just be a sales gimmic. I was impressed with the ride and power but am a bit surprised by the milage. Not so concerned that I won;t buy but surprised how the emissions hinder economy. Will have to look for options later to improve the numbers.
Thanks again for all the help.
