Some issues
- Front seats are a bit higher than stock
- Refrigerator interior igniter not working, but pilot lights from outside
- Ceiling liner - sticky shelf liner material - came off the ceiling panel in front behind the drivers seat and is coming off in bathroom. Easy fix with new material or removal and sanding of mahogany ceiling panels.
- Apparently there was a minor leak in the ceiling at some point so there is some water discoloration in ceiling and wall panels near entry door. leak was fixed.
Reason for selling - I purchased this beauty (my dream coach) in January with the idea of taking it on many trips this summer. After a few short trial trips with it, I've realized that the beds are just too cramped. I'm 6'2". So now I'm looking for a 26' GMC with a fixed bed in back. If bed size isn't a concern for you then you will love this coach. I wish I didn't have to sell it.
