Anyone have experience with this RV and motor. Was it a good model, durable, etc. ?
Found 1984 Winnebago Itasca for sale. 27 feet, 44,000 miles, Chevy 454 gas engine, auto trans. Equipped with 3-way frig, air cond., Onan self contained generator, forced air furnace, CB and TV with inside hookups, outside antenna's, awning, full size shower, sleeps extra 4, 60-70% rubber, oven, range. Says it runs and drives well. It was very clean all the way around. Found no loose wires or lines, no signs water stains around windows, dual tail pipes were solid and tight on the clamps, all metal door panels w/o locks were in good shape, open and closed well. Rear bumper bent out on one side maybe 6-8 inches, ladder missing one bolt at bottom on left side, still climbed to roof and felt sturdy going up. Metal roof, metal vent covers, no signs of damage, seams running around outer edges showed no signs of patchwork having been done. Tail pipes had dents and small amount of dirt hanging on as if backing up and manuvering didn't always go well. Asking $6200.
The 454 engines are famous for cracking the exhaust manifolds under extreme conditions, like climbing long grades, towing, etc. so you can put on headers later and get a little more power.
Make sure the oil was changed regularly, as motorhome engines work a lot harder than car engines, and wear out sooner.
