A closer look and I saw the CC on the wheel. Is that a Country Coach model? If so they make a fine
unit. In fact when they closed their doors Winnebago purchased them so they're now part of the
Winnebago family. Maybe we'll meet at the Grand National Rally.
I may just go to the GNF.

There AWD Coop the only way you can tow them without tranny damage is on a trailer. According to what I read
I believe that is correct. If I tow something it might just be a small 2wd pickup with a canary.

Gene, looks nice. What are you going to do with the teardrop and your Subaru?
Either tow the teardrop or store it. I’ll most likely sell the Subaru.

Thanks. I spoke with the owner again and even more convinced it’s a good clean unit. It’s old without a lot of miles and it was under cover when not in use.

Again, check the age on the tires. Even if he won't replace them you don't want to drive on old tires.
A friend of mine with a Monaco blew a set of duals and took out the bath room floor.
The rule is even if they look new, replace them after 7 years.

They are seven years old. He said they have been off the ground and not exposed to daylight. I’m thinking replace them. The batteries are about a year old.

How often does the engine oil need to be changed?

Thats a question that will get about a 100 different opinions. If it was me buying it no matter when it was changed last I change the oil when I buy something used. Then I know when it was changed. After that once a year for me and I use synthetic

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

You might get away with another year on the tires, but I wouldn't chance it. I sold my old tires to a contractor who
uses them off road.
Year old batteries are not a problem, but you could have them tested under load to see if they stand up.

Every ten thousand miles or at least once a year. I do the once a year thing along with the filters.
Don't forget the air filter. They dry out over time and will powder your engine ruining it. Better safe
than sorry. I also carry a couple spare fuel filters. I've gotten bad fuel a couple times over the years
and without my own filters I would have had to wait for the shop to order them in.

Get underneath and look for rust. Ours set on concrete and moisture wicked up under and we had a lot of rust.
Make sure the compartments aren't rusted out.
