MOTOR HOME FOR SALE:
How would you like to escape for a few months and tour America or Mexico?
'COBY' - you can see at a glance where she got that name, came to us as a miracle some 7 years ago. Since then we have used her every year touring the western United States. She has taken us to 'out of the way' places and exotic scenic national parks such as Yosemite and the beauty of Sedona on many occasions.
So easy and fun to drive and comfortable beyond words, Coby is truly home on wheels - completely self contained for a week at a time. In her 28ft she sleeps six, fully air conditioned, heated, TV, microwave, stove and oven, hot & cold pressure water, bathroom and shower, plenty of cupboards, nice permanent double bed, kitchen and couch and swivel chairs. Coby is fully equipped with dishes, pots, bedding, tool kit, maps. Literally, she is set and ready to go.
Each year we have renovated another aspect, so now she is like new, inside and out. With only 54,000 miles on the powerful 8 cyl. 7.2lt Ford engine Coby will take you most places.
We are not quite ready to give her up – we are cruising Arizona from mid Sept to mid October 2010 then Coby is free for her new owners.
It's an ideal time to get away, while cooler in the north the southern States of California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico are the perfect playground and if you can afford the time to play in the sun, Mexico is wide open to the south with magical Baja just a few days drive from San Diego.
If we can hand her over to you on 15th October in Los Angeles we'll give you a great deal – just US$7,900

WHAT ELSE YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW:
We purchased the 28ft motorhome "COBY" in December 2001 and used it annually to 2010 to travel extensively throughout California, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona.
The low 32,000 mileage done by previous owners is an unusual benefit and now with all our own travels 'Coby' has only 54,000 miles.
The quality steel frame around which the fiberglass 'house" is built makes it exceptional buying. Later models researched and driven were found to be of lighter construction, rattled excessively and their interior's had none of the quality interior fixtures and features eg. solid 1/2inch cabinetry throughout, large expensive fridge, extra cupboards, good quality kitchen appliances.
The 350 Econoline heavy duty truck chassis provides very stable driving conditions. The 7.2 liter Ford 460 motor is regarded by mechanics as one of the best motors produced. Fuel consumption is not excessively high – we average about 25 cents a mile depending on local fuel prices and driving conditions and hills encountered.
If sharing the driving it is comfortable to travel 400 - 500 miles a day on freeways with no strain. The 28ft length is still easy for street and shopping centre parking.
The vehicle is currently insured with AAA Insurance. The vehicle has been stored in Joshua Tree – high desert two hours from LAX. The high desert has ensured no damage as it is humidity free, minimal rainfall and no snow. Due to sun fading over the years, we repainted and re- striped the fibreglass exterior paneling.
The vehicle storage cost has been $10 per week which included running the engine for 30 minutes every two weeks to keep systems clean and batteries charged. A local garage has undertaken preparation – servicing, checking systems, new oil etc., prior to pickup each year.
The vehicle is in great condition, tires are good, new battery, brakes are excellent. Vehicle will be serviced following our use in 2010 and ready for takeover and immediate use.
The spacious interior has been upgraded with new carpets, upholstery and curtains and provides a very comfortable and pleasing living space for two – six people for extended periods. Everything that is required for traveling is included.
"COBY" will be returned to Joshua Tree and available for mid October takeover or we could make other arrangements to mutual satisfaction.
