2005 Liberty New Price

Wow, what do you know. Same guy selling both of them! The Marathon is a mess inside and I would bet smells like a 70 year old pool hall! Probably take an additional 100k to put it right. Gotta wonder now about the Vanatare.......has to have a history. Maybe he rolled the speedometer and tach on the generator, slapped on a couple of used Double Coins and took it to the 25 cent car wash...who knows. Still, it is interesting to follow.

I was going to say that Wayne Mullis of Desert West runs a one man show. He also throws enough in the ask to garner some wiggle room for the buyer. As an aside, he is a lousy photographer and you always have glimpses of his facility right in the bowels of old Phoenix.

Someone took that Marathon to the local golf and country club an spent a few bucks taking the pictures.....looks very nice but, as you said Tuga, very very green!

Hey Jim

You know anything about Marathon 0473?

A friend of mine found it locally (although this ad doesn't appear to be local), and was interested in it. If anyone knows a history, it's you!

You mean apart from the price that suggests the seller has some very good recreational chemicals affecting his thinking?

Hi Ray,

Interesting thing about this Marathon Coach 473, it has a similar paint job to a 1997 40ft two slider called Coach 437 REPO'dlast year below at Mira Loma .Keith_Schwaiger_1996__Motorhome_Ser_.jpg

My friend is considering offering considerably less than the price on this website. The coach is no longer at this site, and is sitting at a place that tends to sell OLD MIC's and Eagles in Southern CA. The salesman is basically saying "make an offer".

Jim, were you at all familiar with it?

Ray,

This coach will have Rogue Coach installed slides from Medford, Ore (shuttered). The bay doors under the salon slide will tip down hinged at the bottom edge held by rams.
This Coach 473 seems to have close ties to Orangewood RV Center in Az.
The owners grandkids work there. Only the service mgr was allowed to drive this coach other than the owner. When this coach came to them on consignment as the owner was ill, Orangewood's service mgr had to drive it to Surprise.
This coach left Orangewood about 3 months ago, for parts unknown in Ca.

This coach needed some chassis work, and electrical work that $40-50,000 dollars would have taken care of. Why the inverters needed to be replaced is unknown to me.
A call to Marathon may answer more questions.
