2004 Coachman Concord M-235
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2013 11:17 pm
I looked at this MH today.
I liked that it is smaller (my DD would be intimidated to drive anything bigger if she came traveling with me), however of course there is less storage space underneath...but I could live with that for now.
It has 33K on the OD. It's a consignment, and owner wants $39,9 for it.
It was a FL coach. Has a 2 - 3' long surface scrape on one side towards the bottom. Batt. kill switch is burned out...sales guy said the whole box would need replacing; new tires, but spare is old. Onan 4000 Quiet Gen.
It has a Hidden Hitch receiver (5000 lbs towing); satellite, emergency start button, ducted heat and AC; fiberglass body, but rolled "artificial" rubber roof (whatever that means); manual awning; 1 slide; gas/smoke detector; darkening shades; Many other items...
Any thoughts so far....?
One thing I noticed is some of the outside plasticky stuff looks warped from outside heat...I would guess that FL has that heat problem like us here in AZ. But one thing in particular is the screen door; not only is the hand-slidey thing warped, and unable to slide anymore, but the weatherstripping is trashed, and the latch is broken off...making the screen door completely unusable. The sales guy said they would clean the dirt "out of the track...and it'll be good as new..." yada, yada. But, I wondered why he just didn't offer to replace it. So I came home and went online looking for that door....no such luck. Then I began to wonder about: How do you replace things that are unique to a used MH? Especially this door being particularly unusual because the coach body is curved, or bowed out, making that door shaped like that too. And I really need a stable screen door for the pooches, and to be lockable for safety and whatnot.
Any thoughts about that?
