Also be sure to check out the rear airbags and the compressor system. Still nothing else like them on the road, and a new RV of a similar size will run you six figures, which leaves lots of room for repair work.

If I get anywhere close to even a third of six figures it won’t make sense for me and it won’t pay out come time to sell. People love these things and there’s a ready market for well kept, updated and maintained ones. This one still has the OEM bogies with a single, GMC motorhome-only bag per side.

The aftermarket has come out with a “quadra-bag” system that has two airbags per side, meaning that you won’t be stranded if one fails, it can function on one well enough and long enough to get you home. Uses a widely common airbag, too, so parts aren’t as big of an issue. Gives it a true independent rears suspension, too. That’s going on this if I get it, but not immediately. That’s a good practical upgrade and a desirable one, but not necessary, especially at $1,800.00 per side.
