I have an 83 PT40- I wish I had all the gauges that an 84 does. They are wonderful machines and will last a lifetime. No cons that I know of. What shape is it in?

HI,,, I JUST GOT AN 83 IN DEC 2003. I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU LIKE YOURS, AND HOW IT HAS BEEN HOLDING UP. I BELIEVE MY ENGINE WAS OVERHAULED IN THE LAST 4 YEARS (I SPOKE TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO HAD IT FOR 17 YEARS). IT STARTS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY,,, IN ONLY ONE ENGINE REVOLUTION IT KICKS OFF. DOES THAT GIVE ANY INDICATION TO YOU IF IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION??? THIS IS MY FIRST DIESEL, SO I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT AT ALL. HAVE YOU EVER CHANGED THE FILTERS IN THE HYDRAULIC FAN AND STEERING SYSTEM?? ANYTHING YOU CAN TELL ME ON HOW YOURS RUNS, AND WHAT I CAN EXPECT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. DAY,,,

I have owned a 1984 PT 40 for three years now andlove it. You must understand the the 84 PT40 was bestowed with a lot of systems that ocasionally get a little complicated. You must also know that the rig is 20 years old and no matter how well it was taken care of, things will begin going wrong ie, refrig, hot water heater, belts & hoses etc. The best thing to do when obtaining a coach this old is to plan and schedule systematic preventitive maintenance and parts replacement. this will eventually check out all systems.
ON the up side, the coach is a real beauty! It rides and drives like a dream and certainly is pleasent living!!
