Totaled Auction Class A August 27, 2022, 10:45:21 pm If the following recent video doesn’t bring a smile to your face or at least a smirk … I don’t know. It’s at the least amusing IMO. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BA11L_ahZjIHopefully I’ve not gone too far out of bounds with this post. 1 Likes

Re: Totaled Auction Class A Reply #2 – August 28, 2022, 12:01:46 pm Reminds me of inexperienced people who watch those "Restore this Old Home" TV shows and buy a 150 year old home thinking I can do that. It will be fun and exciting. Not.Money pit.
Re: Totaled Auction Class A Reply #3 – August 29, 2022, 04:24:18 pm I wouldn’t call this guy inexperienced. He seems pretty competent and “can do.” I’d like to see how this turns out. — Jon 1 Likes

Re: Totaled Auction Class A Reply #5 – August 29, 2022, 05:18:25 pm This should be interesting. It's going to be a long, tough job with most of the roof rotted, along with much of the passenger side wall, near the bedroom. And that's the clearly visible damage. I wish them luck.It would have been considerate of LD to make the fuel pump accessible without dropping the fuel tank, as Coachman did.Larry 1 Likes
Re: Totaled Auction Class A Reply #6 – August 29, 2022, 05:44:09 pm I wonder if the new owner is aware of how deadly the black mold is to humans. It can be seen around the ceilings and is probably throughout the wall interiors. It will be nearly impossible to get rid on and it will only grow more as time goes on. Just working around it can be very dangerous. I wouldn't even want to enter that coach. BTW, That company is Coachmen and not my name: Coachman. I wouldn't want to even be associated with that company and their poor reputation for build quality. It is on par with Thor RV's.Mike C 1 Likes
Re: Totaled Auction Class A Reply #7 – August 29, 2022, 06:44:00 pm I'll take this moment to concur with Mike about the quality of Coachmen interior furniture. I once told a salesman that if I did buy a new one we were standing in, I'd have to drive it home, rip out all the furniture and start over. Made Thor look good! This 'flipper' maybe he was going to keep it, only allocated 3 weeks for repairing it. 3 months would be a stretch in a good inside workshop. More like a year to really renovate this one. Money is a minor cost. It's the labor! Still interesting to see what happens. RonB
Re: Totaled Auction Class A Reply #8 – August 29, 2022, 07:15:48 pm "That company is Coachmen and not my name: Coachman."Perhaps my memory is incorrect in the belief that Coachmen was originally built by the Amish or Mennonites? Who knows?
Re: Totaled Auction Class A Reply #9 – August 29, 2022, 07:39:57 pm The company's "Our Story" page ends with the footnote, "While we are in the heart of an Amish community that boasts true craftsmen, we employ a broad breadth of skilled and committed individuals with value added backgrounds that contribute toward the design and manufacture of a product that is deserving of the Coachmen name…"You can read that a lot of ways, but the cynic in me translates it as "We'd like the Amish reputation for craftsmanship to rub off on us, but we don't actually claim to employ them." But it doesn't really matter who they hire--we can judge Coachmen by their products, and Ron summed that up pretty well. 1 Likes
