AKIQPilot Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 2 hours ago, Snake said: MSRP $297,775. All-New 2018 Coachmen Sportscoach 409BG Bunk Model 2 Full Baths measures approximately 41 feet 1 inch in length and features a large living area TV, fireplace, king size bed and bunk beds. This versatile RV features the Stainless Appliance Package which features a stainless residential refrigerator, stainless convection microwave, true induction cooktop and 2000 watt inverter with (4) 6-volt batteries. Additional options include the beautiful full body paint exterior with Diamond Shield paint protection, in-motion satellite, aluminum wheels, double clear coat for paint, chase lounge, 360HP ISB engine with 3000MH transmission, slide-out storage tray, front overhead TV, dual pane windows, stackable washer/dryer, front and rear 15K BTU A/Cs with heat pumps and Travel Easy Roadside Assistance program. This beautiful RV also boasts a list of impressive standard features that include tile floor throughout, raised panel hardwood cabinet doors throughout, 6-way power driver's seat, solid surface countertops throughout, My RV multiplex control center, 8KW diesel generator with auto-generator start, king bed with Serta mattress, exterior entertainment center and much more. Just 4. More. Years. That is a nice unit. The entry level Diesel Pushers like that really offer a lot for the money you pay. That unit will sell for about $240k when someone is serious about buying/selling it. The 8.3 ISB Cummins is a great motor. The MH 3000 is a great transmission. You won't have many motor, tranny, chassis issues with a rig like that. The two biggest concerns with modern motorhomes is the design/reliability of the slide out system and the electronics. The electronics are fairly easy to upgrade if they fail after warranty. The slide systems are not at all easy to upgrade once the warranty is over. 2 hours ago, NaturallyAspirated said: I always heard that getting an older Prevost is a good way to go. Good quality I guess? Neal Any of the medium/high end Diesel Pushers are very nice and are very good deals once they are 6-8 years old. I have always loved the Prevost coaches but their interior styling is a little flashy for me. The one you posted is a good deal as long as all the mechanicals and electronics are functioning properly. 1 hour ago, Snake said: Thta's all I'm looking for. Do it a few years till I get sick of it, sell it, then carry on. Yep. Travel the country seeing things that you have only read about. Meeting like minded people along the way. It's pretty fun for sure. Eventually you grow out of it and find a place that you really like and settle down. 15 minutes ago, DAVE said: Thats nicer then any motel. Way nicer for sure. Living out of a suit case is fun for about 2 weeks. After that it's complete BS. Having your RV all set up like you want it is a lot of the fun of ownership. Meeting people in the campground or RV Resort is a lot of fun. Motel rooms are boring as hell and you never really know what kind of critters were in that rome before you got there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 4. More. Years. I know somebody selling an almost identical unit, but it's not a coachman, and it's in Florida. It's about 3-4 years old and only has something like 20+ thousand on it. It went for 287 thou new, but I think he wants about 150 k for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always chuckle when others can't understand why you would want to do something like buy a boat, or an RV. "Because I want to, how about that?" I'll do the same thing for a couple years until I get bored with it and I'll move on. Amirite? 29.5% on mine last year, but I had it to the pedal most of the year with the investments I was in. Still not nearly what I want it to be, playing catchup courtesy of an ex wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck yeah I'm gonna rip it when I retire. Half the stuff I don't own is because I haven't the time for it. That'll change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you bud...thats what its all about. and x2. Probably going to cash in the real estate, because its just too time consuming and want $ on auto pilot. Jenny and I have similar plans with a motor home in about 5 years. 5 more years of semi retirement before pulling the plug I think. No one gets out alive, I'm just putting the ducks in a row. I've been cheating the models away from fixed income to growth and growth and income style, because those are the ones on fire right now. Only a couple key strokes to put it on the sidelines or into something more stable. Edited January 13, 2018 by DriftBusta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my heart set on a big quad slide Diesel Pusher. Found a beautiful 41' Tiffin in Connecticut last year when we were chasing the Fall Colors. Original sticker was $327k in 2012. Dealer wanted $140k for it. 18000 miles. 8.3 ISB Cummins. Perfect condition. My wife loved everything about it except the price tag. She didn't care that it was selling for 40% of the original sticker. We ended up with a 40' Winnebago. 2008. 3 big slides. 8.1 Vortec, Allison 6 speed. 29000 miles. Original sticker was $182k. Paid $59 for it. 1 hour ago, DAVE said: Hahaha. That was a funny movie.
