I don't think either of us accomplished much today. I traded emails with the salesman for the coach in Haslet, TX. My grandmother used to say if you can't say something good about someone don't say anything at all, nuff said. I contacted another sales person at the place and am trying to work with her. I'm hoping that she will provide me with some of information I've requested on the coach.
Logan, the nearby Camping World salesman, contacted us and told us the coach they had out getting new tires installed was back on the lot and ready for us to see. It is more coach than we want but the price was good (for a more expensive coach that we have in our plans), and we wanted to actually look at one with a full bath in the rear.
It's a 2012 Dutch Star 4346, 42'9" long, 23" longer than the one we used to have. Below are some photos from their website.
The coach is 12 years old and only has 16,000 miles on it. They told us it had been in storage for a long time. We haven't totally ruled it out but doubt that it is the coach for us. For a coach with only 16,000 miles there are a lot of visible defects. Dutch Star's are a very upscale coach. The "leather" upholstery on the couches is the worst we have ever seen. Both would need to be replaced, or recovered. Kathy thinks she can smell mold. She saw some evidence of veneer delamination on one of the cabinets. She also thought the carpet had been wet. I saw no evidence of roof leaks but maybe if the coach has been stored for a long time in a damp area it could have caused the problems. They wanted us to take it out for a test drive but we weren't interested enough to do that, yet. I may talk to the salesman about it a little more.
