Brown Bomber Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Hello, been lurking lots but this is my first post in a while. I have the opportunity to buy a 1986 Gulfstream Conquest, 22re automatic, 86,000 miles for $3000. The interior is rough, exterior faded and shabby, roof coated with tar paper, water/house electric systems presumed not working and the RV needs many small parts. However the engine has had recent work and seems in great shape, runs and drives, no roof A/C but I can feel a bit of cold air at the cab A/C vent even though the fan knocks and doesn't blow. Worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Rear axle, 5 lug or 6 lug? If 5 lug, walk away. If 6 lug you’re good. Everything else will be dependent on how mechanically inclined you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neubie Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 My '86 conquest is documented here. If someone in norcal wants it, I am open to offers for it to go to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else will be dependent on how mechanically inclined you are. It is a 6 lug. I think I'd be up for the renovation. I still have my '85 Dolphin, ironically the coach is mint but it needs an engine rebuild (500 miles per quart of oil) and it didn't come with cab A/C. The Conquest has a shower too. Thank you for your feedback! Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
