Darn it! Why do all the good deals pop up AFTER I bought what I need?

Great combo, great price!

[bardave]

sorry it has taken so long to inform that this rig was sold.... procrastination, combined with being busy and still travelling...has taken me a while to get back to this site.

sold the 5ver within a week...
... of the calls and inquiries not one person was interested in the truck.... oh well it would have been a good deal for someone..
traded it in and received 38 K trade in value....so it was a better deal for me....

Congrats on finding a buyer.

I have my combo for sale and could have sold the truck for full asking price the day after listing it. The issue is I won't sell the truck before the trailer. Seems like everyone who contacts me already has a trailer and just needs a better truck.

Gunship Guy,

I've been watching your ad over on the Escapee's forum. Sorry that you haven't had better luck. If your MS would have sold quick, I would have posted ours to try to sell. Guess we'll just have to trade - we are going to the "darkside" to a Tiffin 40' Phaeton.

Good Luck and hope it sells soon!

[Gunship Guy]

Escapees is the only place I've actively been trying to sell it. I still use it when in VA and will be working out of this area until May. As that time gets closer I'll be more aggressive and post on RV Trader. I actually had it sold and under contract but the buyer ran into some personal problems and can't start fulltiming for another couple of years.

We have mixed feelings because it has been such a pleasure to own. We had the combo set up for many years of family camping but job commitments changed all that. Even if we decide to keep it it will sit idle most of the time now.

Have fun with your new Phaeton. Those are very nice MH's.

I purchased bardaves trailer. What a machine. Ginger & I have been lusting for one of these for over three years. They are always the best looking 5er at RV Shows. In October we did the factory tour, that did it! Then Daves add. This trailer is better then new. Cleaner then some new ones seen on dealer lots. When not in use it was stored inside. He said they never wore shoes in side. (You know that’s what wares out carpet) Dave went through all the grief of warranty work, adjustments, and up grade modes, etc. Since purchase we pulled over 2000 miles & 7 states. Not a problem. Dave & Barbara are super people, sorry there not Rving any more.
