Thank you both Fred and Scott. This is great advice. I was told by the owners that the plywood over the roof is part of their winterization process and they do not drive it in the winter. Being from Buffalo myself, rust is a big concern and I will check that out for sure. Scott, this one is an automatic transmission, but I've read those are just fine as well. I will ask about the clutch though. Not something that was obvious to me.

Hey Everyone, My wife and I are new to the motorhome game. We've been identifying our needs over the past year or so, and when we discovered the Toyota mini-campers we were instantly attracted to them. Now we are considering a 1986 Coachmen for $10k. I'd like some advice on what I should be on the lookout for when we go to visit it. First things first, I haven't seen a lot of discussion on the Coachmen. Is it any better or worse than a Winnebago, Dolphin, or SLE from the same year? Are there any well-known issues with this particular model year and configuration? Here's what I know so far: 6-lug dually rear axle installed 22RE engine w/ 4-speed auto transmission and ~76k miles 12 years w/ current owner. They seem to have kept up on it from the pictures I've seen. And that's it. I have done a fair amount of research, and have been a vehicle owner for some time now, so I know generally what to ask. But I've never had to do that with an RV. Below is the URL, please take a look and if anything stands out to you please let me know and much appreciated! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/777538037634726 Best, haleyryan7722
