AH, not so nice Coach

GDeen,

Country Coach made only 7 "H"3-45's. Some with slides. When we ended up with the 2000 Marathon, we first looked at CC # 60442. It was also a 2000 model "H" no slide. It had been neglected, so we passed it up in lieu of the Marathon. We had a 2001/1999 shell CC XL with 2 slides. It was one of 6 made with slide rooms.
Country Coach did a very nice job back then on their busses. One of the CC "H's", not the one we looked at, took a swim in drainage ditch, but I would have to call a friend to find out who owned it and its CC number. We saw it a CC Factory Service, in 2000 or maybe '01?.

With so low of miles on the RVonline coach, it may be a good price, but plan spending some money on chassis rubber products, maybe axle seals belts etc. They do rot over time as we found out in Quebec 2 1/2 weeks ago on our coach. It had 50,000 miles on it 3 years ago, and now 94,000. Alot of our bushings were gone or going. I am sad that Mira Loma didn't catch these things when we had our inspection. We were there January of this year and every year previous for 3 years, and these things were never caught. Got an education. The Prevost Quebec Factory Service Techs are the best.

Thanks Jim for the info...here is the link if you wouldn't mind commenting on this specific bus:

GDeen,

I'm not sure but this link below shows I think the same bus : :confused:
It was sold few months ago, and it's back on the market :confused:

Nice catch Alex. Interestly the owners reason for selling was lousy housing market. Darn, he only wants to make $20,000 for those couple of months of ownership!

Alek and Lucia, You are right! Your link is the same as GDeen.

This coach should have I think 119 gallon black and grey tanks each and 208??? fresh water. Plus you have the 2 11.5 gallon hot water heaters. I will have to look it up in an old brochure if I still have one..
The bed is and east/west bed but the pillow will be on the curb side.
There is a swing-down TV that is over the entry steps. Audio/Visual stack is behind the driver. I think Parliment coach has another one that is a 2 slider that I think is sold. The patio awning is a ZipDee air/electric one. They work well, we had one our Marathon XLII.
Everything else is the same as most since appliances are usually close to the same.

I remember that bus now! Very different paint scheme and it was just off the market. Thanks for the follow up...

Jim,

Thanks for letting members know what is going on out there.
Your posts on the subject are invaluable.

Jim

Gordon, everyone is correct about the 2000 CC H3-45 on RVOnline. It is exactly the same bus that was sold at Featherlite, in just the last month or two, and Robin Mc. @ Featherlite sold it for NOT $317,000, but $298,900.

IN FACT, if you look at RVOnline it is still listed, and just two spaces below the Current Owners listing site.

PRETTY FUNNY...:eek: :D

841 Marathon coach has shown up again on Phil Coopers Web site for $629,500,buyer beware.

Phil did post that the unit has damage history.
