Fupi Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Greetings........ I just purchased my first motorhome, a delightfully well preserved 1986 Toyota GranVille. I see from reading the forums that the GranVille is not a terribly common home, but when I went to look at the three that this gentleman had, it was the one in the best condition. The other two were very tired '89's, and yes, I know they were mechanically probably the best choice, but I am not into rebuilding the house portion of two very worn out Oddysseys. The GranVille is of superb quality, and the only thing I must do is to replace one interior roof panel which has become de-laminated. The machine works famously, and while reading your forums, I find this one is probably up to snuff on everything. Living in Arizona, I must deal with changes in altitude on a regular basis, so I now know why the overdrive doesn't always work, but I am not terribly interested in cruising at higher than 60mph anyway. (Just remember, now you are "the traffic") Anyway, still haven't discovered which axle I have, or other issues which must be dealt with, but overall, it still looks like a very serviceable unit. Thanks for being here on the net. Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fupi Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Thanks Paul. I tried to post photos, but couldn't work this publishing format correctly, and only got the wrong ones. Sorry. Edited December 31, 2007 by Fupi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
