Your thoughts please . . .
After a lot of searching, we've agreed to purchase a 1996 3023 for $6,000--with a brake controller and 1,000# Draw-Tite WDH thrown in. The interior is pretty faded and worn, but the price seems to be pretty much in line with Nada guidelines, and used TMs are hard to find. The TM has roof-mount airconditioning and a fairly new awning (replaced by a TM dealer ~two years ago). The tires are a year old, and look good. It's been used a lot, and stored outside, but seems to be structurally sound. The floor is very squeaky. The seller believes it's a problem with the insulation under the floor. I've been in a few new TMs, and don't remember their having squeaking floors.
We'll need to do the following:
A lot of elbow grease/cleaning
Add two hanging cabinets (one over sink; one over stove)
Add microwave drawer & microwave
Replace all the curtains
Reupholster everything (2 beds, one couch and two occasional chairs)
Replace the floor with new linoleum (wood-look), and while we're at it, see if we can figure out why the floors squeak
I'm trying to decide if I want to make new curtains. Is it possible to buy new curtains and new beds from the factory? If so, I might prefer to get the 2007 models.
