Meet Coach

I just bought an RV. The sellers called him "Coach":


It's very clean for it's age, and many of the appliances have been replaced recently. I'm enjoying getting to know all the different parts. It's like a boat + a truck + a house, so there's lots of parts!

Here's the floor plan:


It's old enough to be cheap, but not old enough to be a classic. It was on Craig's List for $8000. I took it to an RV mechanic and he pointed to a bunch of problems ranging from serious to trivial. I ended up buying it for $6000, and spent $2000 to have him fix the most important items:
  • Reseal the roof
  • Fix hot water heater
  • Replace water pump filter
  • Repair propane gas leak
