AH, not so nice Coach

[Coloradobus]

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.

GDeen,

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

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...

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...
