    Yes, he said the roof should be done this fall. When they are campgrounds he jacks it up a bit on one side so that water from the a/c will run off and not pool anywhere on the roof and he reinforced that area.

    The purchase is contingent on it passing the mechanic inspection and it must pass inspection too. Tires are 3 or 4 years old.

    2 More I am looking at and Service Records

    Hi, all I am now thinking of checking out these two. On the 1998 one, the guy said he does not have any service records but claims he has kept up on maintenance on it. Is not having any service records a red flag? He has no issue with me taking it to a mechanic...

    Generator question-Onan

    I am betting the one I heard had not been serviced or taken care of since it was quite loud. Thank you for your helpful response. What does it mean to exercise the generator? I have so much to learn.

    1987 Itasca 22RC feedback

    That is very helpful and will do! I have realized this one will be too small for small and I need something bigger. My sons, ages 18 and soon to be 20 will be with me on the road sometimes.

    Generator question-Onan

    Is it me, or are the Onan generators really loud? I am brand new to all of this, so big learning curve abounds for me. Can anyone recommend a better generator that would be quieter? I will be purchasing a Class C RV between 22ft to 25 ft, if that helps... Also, I just put in my Amazon wish list...

    Craigslist/RVT/Rvtrader advice!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok, you just made me nervous! LOL, I have found a possibility and it is at a dealer. Well, they are more RV repair guys more than they are dealers, meaning that repair and sell some RV's. Last night they got a 1987 Itasca with 34,000 original miles on it in for a trade on a toy trailer. There...

    Feedback please on this Class C

    Thank you, everyone! You are all so helpful. I gave up on that one. I am now looking at one that is Itasca 22ft 1987 with 34,000 original miles on it. When not in use it was kept in a barn. It is looking like it might be a good choice for me. I do have to be sure it will not be too small. It was...
