I just got this email back from the seller. I've got him talked down to $800 now. I just need to find out if it's the 5 or 6 lug axle before I drive up to check it out.
the motorhome belongs to a buddy of mine and it's actually
sitting at his sister's house, so it's hard to get any more pictures. I do know,
since it rained for 3 days straight, that the roof is leaking and soaked the
inside. It is 25+ years old and the cushions that you sleep on need
replacing. But the roof would have to be sealed to stop the rain. So I guess you
should expect to do some work on the inside. Under the hood, it's just a 4
cylinder Toyota motor, with no air conditioning. I took one perspective
looker for a ride in it and it ran, but it wouldn't idle good until it warmed up
completely. So I think it will need a carburator. Oh yeah, it only has
88,000 miles on it, and it drove out OK as far as the steering, brakes, and
clutch. Unfortunately, the looker I took for a ride only wanted to trade a
go-cart for it, since he didn't actually have any money. I hope this info
helps. His sister wants it out of her yard , so if you need more info before
you come this far, just let me know.

I've sent them an email and am waiting on pictures. Even though you say it's obvious, what are some things you look for?

I'm looking at buying my first motorhome. I ran across this ad while perusing the internet this morning.

These things seem pretty easy to fix as their old enough before things got overly complicated. I think I may take a run down there this afternoon and check it out. Is there anything specific I should watch out for? Also, I don't think it'll be hard to fix the stalling problem. What do you think?
What do you guys think of this one?

I don't think I'm going to pick it up. I'm still waiting for an email back on the axle and such. If it really got soaked as bad as it sounds, it wouldn't be worth the headache. No telling how long water has been leaking in it.
