Looking to buy an RV and need advice

[DMF]

But how do I use or activate it. There wasn’t a bib or switch

It should have a hose attachment that you screw a water hose to it. Then turn the water to the hose on and the flush kit will spray the inside of the tank.

That’s what I thought. I’m assuming this model doesn’t have that feature

Sometimes they are mounted to the exterior side of the coach. They are not always in the wet bay area.

And almost all of them don't work worth a shit.
I got this from Amazon and works well to clean the tanks once done. Again yore results may vary.

Whenever I dump I run the dump site hose into the toilet and turn it on full blast then wait a minute. After it gets really full I open the dump valve. Once it’s empty I close the valve while the hose is running still and wait until the tank is 1/4 or more full again and then open valve. The dump site I use has a clear elbow on the end of the hose. It should be clear after this process. Only takes a few minutes and it’s worth it.

I got one as well, works great just sounds awfully destructive when on.
Worried for my sensors mounted in the tank.

Ok so this is where we are… i really really hate to be rude and we did have a verbal agreement so I don’t want to do it but he didn’t respond today and I think I’m going to move forward with the forest river… am I an asshole? To explain, after I called him he said his wife wanted him to ask me if I would take it as is with a 5k dollar discount. Just to give some context on the text conversation.

 

[BHC Vic]

My wife’s says it’s obvious he doesn’t have any updates to give me so that’s why he didn’t respond, but I don’t want someone to buy the forest river while I wait. I don’t know this is making it not fun at all. And honestly I want to use next weekend as a shakedown w motor home and bikes

FYI - verbal agreements can be used in court, if the guy wants to push it.
tell him 15k off of price and take it as-is. Then get it fixed

He’s not pushing shit.

Vic, go buy a coach you can drive home and enjoy. To fuck with this unicorn unit that is supposedly sitting at Campingblunder.

Even on a private party vehicle purchase?

I agree to a hefty discount as is or move on.

If he offered you 5k to take it as is, I believe there is more on the table. Tell him $15k less or you are going to move on.

 

[NicPaus]

What camping world location is it at?

 

[BHC Vic]

What camping world location is it at?

 

[RiverDave]

At this point I wouldn’t buy that motorhome for any amount off.. I’d move on to a different one.

[HCP3]

This thread started in July of 2024?

 

[BHC Vic]

Yup… this is my life. I think if there’s not a date from camping world for me to go pick it up like this coming weekend I gotta walk. I’m not sure I want a mobile guy that can make it work

 

[callbob]

I'm with Dave on this one. Move on and get one that everything is working. This could be just the start of things needing repair. Although with RVs, there will always be something. Start with one you can use now.

 

[DMF]

Sounds like you have already found the replacement that you like. Your gut is telling you to move on. I would move on!

I think you’re right I just don’t like making big decisions. I feel like an asshole even though I haven’t done anything wrong. It’s my personality. I can’t fire my gardener, can’t fire the pool guy, and I always sucked at laying my friends off at work.

 

[CLdrinker]

Vic you have been more then
Patient.
Just tell the guy you have spent time waiting that you could have been camping.

Wish him luck and move on.

All of those examples are business decisions including the rv. What is best for the business at hand? You are not an asshole in this situation. You have been very patient and open in the communication with the seller. It's time to handle the business and go get the rv that is actually available to purchase. Time is ticking, go make some memories with your family!

 

[BHC Vic]

Ok tomorrow I’m going to go and buy the forest river Georgetown. I don’t know why but I honestly feel bad right now. Like depressed.

 

[BHC Vic]

My wife says i shouldn’t feel bad. I don’t know…

 

[Angler]

Move on already. The stress you are creating for yourself over this rig is ridiculous.
Move on with your Wife and be happy with another rig.

 

[JFMFG]

Vic sack up and go pick that bitch up tonight so you can sleep

 

[hallett21]

Don’t feel bad. Congrats on the new RV.

 

[CLdrinker]

If I had a buyer lined up for my fifth wheel and I needed a part. I would get the fucking part one way or the other. This BS you will get it when you get it is not how a seller treats a buyer period.

 

[Justsomeguy]

You're an honest person with compassion. That's why. However, you will move on when you're making memories in the rig you buy.

 

[Orange Juice]

Here is Hondas Version. $65k

Damn that’s the truth. Literally losing sleep over this

I’m flying in tonight. Getting ready to board my plane in a bit. I fly out again early Sunday morning though and tomorrow is my youngest son’s birthday. The end of my year is rough, but I’m already tired of complaining about it. I’ve been under a ton of stress lately and I’m sure that weighing on me and why I have this depressed feeling.


I will say this though… things are tough around the holidays. Everybody slow down and give you loved ones a hug. Check in on everyone make sure everyone is really ok. Inflation has been crazy and a lot of people don’t have money to spare and it’s a shitty feeling this time of year. You never know who just needs that extra huh to feel the love and keep things in check. Sorry for the vent but we lost a buddy out here this week. Cardiac arrest mid sentence while teaching a class. Sitting here thinking about things I guess it’s just been an emotional week and I’m processing everything. Lots of different feelings. RIP John

Sorry to hear about your friend .

Don’t forget to take your own advice and make sure you’re ok too

Sorry for your loss Vic. Ya sometimes others have it much worse than we think we have it. When I give out Christmas bonuses it’s crazy the face and emotions you see from some people even for $1000.00

 

[boatnam2]

If I was the seller, after 2 weeks I would have told you not sure how long this shit is going to take to get fixed so if you find something else no biggie, I will relist it when its finally fixed.

 

[BHC Vic]

So real quick… I’m going over tomorrow at 8. We went through everything last weekend but I’m going to go over everything again tomorrow. Have him show me how everything works. As far as paper work. He signs over the title and I give him the cash? It’s been a while since I’ve done this

Yes get the title and you’re good. Maybe a bill of sale too. Match vin up with pink.

If I want to register it in Az do I need to be there or could my mom do it for me?

 

[79 HUSTLER]

If you want it in your name you will need to be there with ID. Also if anyone else is to be on the title (wife, mom, dad) they would need to be there too.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Fuck a feel bad, common Vic you’ve given this vato 60 days to track down a single part! He’s not motivated which is an indicator of the rest of the coach maintenance! Go buy, test in driveway, have fun, be merry!

Take a picture of his ID. He shouldn't mind

You need to grow a spine when it comes to your family generational wealth.
Send this guy down the road, and think of yourself as lucky someone upstairs has been protecting you so far.

Maybe the guy trying to sell it to you knows what a piece of crap it has been, and knows you’re a nice guy, and doesn’t want to ruin your life.

Too many signs from up stairs.

You’re right. All my buddies have said the same thing. Last week at church my buddy Gus said come on Vic God just opened a 35’ door for you and said walk in

Brought it home with me… I’ll post more later I have a ton of stuff to do for my son’s birthday party in a few hours. Not enough time in a day

 

[callbob]

Nice looking rig. Lots of miles will bring lots of smiles. Motorhome can be a pain in the ass to maintain and own, but as far as I am concerned, mine helps me cope with things beyond my control. Kids will love it and the wife will like having a bathroom she knows without having to find a clean restroom or using a vault toilet when camping. Also a big plus to me was she could go while you keep driving. A word of caution though. Don’t hit any bumps when she is in there. The screams are distracting.

Atta fuckin boy Vic. Hit me up if you need help with anything. Or going over anything you may have forgot lol. I’m right down the road in eastvale off limonite and scholar by herada park.

 

[wzuber]

Looks like a nice rig. Is that on the f53 chassis, gasser power? How long are those bunks? Would they fit a 6'-2" adult?

 

[DMF]

Congratulations Vic! You made the right decision for you amd your family!!

 

[hallett21]

I’m writing this day down in my calendar



Congratulations!!!!!
