Serro Scotty Class C December 11, 2017, 10:21:24 pm I'd not be surprised that a lot of RV people already know about a Serro Scotty Class C. My goodness, what an interesting RV. I found this link about the Serro Scotty which I've enjoyed reading.SerroIt would be a great treat to see one up close. 1 Likes
Re: Serro Scotty Class C Reply #1 – December 12, 2017, 09:19:02 am 11K tow rating √Turbo Diesel √Eight - count 'em - eight wheels √Downsides: Rear overhang... Duals need to be where tag is, and tag farther back.Exhaust pipe right next to door -- although I guess it needs to go somewhere.I had actually thought about tag axle on a longer LD, to try to bring capacity back up. It would be tough to install in an already tightly-packed layout though.Chip

This means longer but shallower interior intrusion of the wheel wells. Also much more head room and easier access for the bunk - but less so for the cab if you like to keep the bed made. I don't think rear overhang is much different from a LD of comparable cabin length. Cab foot room a vast improvement over the cutaway.Steve

I know it's a diesel but that is still a lot of wear and tear on the both the chassis and the coach.Interestingly, the owner uses photos from eight years ago rather than taking new photos, showing its present condition.$18,000 seems a little high for a hobbyist vehicle but if someone just has to own one, it's worth a through inspection.I would want a large contingency budget.We actually looked at them, back in the mid-90s at the Pomona RV Show, but the high cost and the additional several feet of length, the result of the long hood, turned us off on them.

Re: Serro Scotty Class C Reply #7 – December 13, 2017, 09:27:19 pm ...but I couldn't lie in bed & look up at the stars; I do love the big windows both along the side & at the rear (where my head is) of the twin beds, plus the windows & openness in the lounge section. I recognize, when I read many of the discussions, the lusting over increased CCC/towing capacity/mechanical & engineering *stuff* but I am continually amazed at how everything about this design & floor plan & *windows* meets my wants & needs beyond my expectations...it was love at first sight, 'til death do us part. When the time comes that I can't travel, she'll still be a retreat at the farm, 'til I can/t get there or they "pry [her] from my cold dead hands" (with no apologies to Chuck). Lynne 2 Likes
