Hello,
I am set to buy a 1987 Escaper with about 50,000 miles on it, tomorrow....from the pictures and my conversation with the last 2 owners it seems that it has been well taken care of and in good shape...no issues with leaking, engine, or rust (unit has mostly been used in the midwest). This will be my first motorhome and 3rd toyota vehicle...I have had excellent results with Toyota.
I'm 6'2" and will be traveling with my wife (5'10")......we imagine we'll spend 3 months in California (traveling from Minnesota) visiting family and parks, a month or so in an RV park in "dry camp". We have the idea of getting a solar panel so we would not need to run a generator. Then perhaps we would leave our Escaper in storage in CA and fly home after our snowbird adventure. We are both retired and have been doing this for a couple years...but in a tent....time for some more creature comforts!
So, what do you have to say to our general idea...especially driving over the Rocky's with a 4 cylinder. I've got a 4 hour drive to get to the Escaper and being new, I'm sure I won't know exactly what I'm looking at like some of you would. Is there anything in particular I should check out?
