I am daydreaming about buying a used "bird" my current object of desire is a 78 Anniversary model 33ft Seller is asking @ $30,000. one big problem is that he says it has a new speedometer & doesn't know how many miles are on it. I guess that I wonder how you can come up with a reasonable value to make the banker happy. Also, is there any chance that there is one of those lemon web sites that would have info if I had the serial # ??? Actually this bird is in Arizona and I am in the panhandle of NE---sure would like to be able to see a couple examples before I take the plung

thanks in advance for any advice----padden

Unfortunately, the '78 had niether an engine hourmeter nor a 7-digit (whole) odometer. On my coach Caterpillar had records including mileage. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
