Motorhome is for sale
Hello folks,
Matt here.
In 2006 I was on a search to buy my first coach. I looked at and test drove dozens of models, gas and diesel. The all new floor plan of the Winnebago/Itasca 38T kept coming back to me over and over. The large front kitchen, walk thru hallway bath and TV at face level and not above the driver/passenger seats was a huge plus. It felt like a small apartment home. But at $175K new at the time it was out of my budget. I ended up purchasing a 2004 34ft SBD Monaco Safari Simba gas 8.1ltr Workhorse chassis for $72k with 12K miles on it. This coach was comfortable and I lived in it full time for 2 yrs. No major issues. I highly recommend this unit.
.
Fast forward 14 years to now. I am on the hunt for that elusive 38T model I could not afford in the past and which was only made for 3 years. 2006-2008. Winnebago Adventurer 38T/ Itasca Suncruiser 38T.
I have considered the 38J model as it seems a very close cousin to the 38T. Where I am now is stuck on the 38T with the big front kitchen.
.
MY QUESTIONS TO YOU FOLKS:
Do you have any pro or con words of advice/experience for the 38T model?
2X 18ft slide issues?
Any advice is appreciated.
If you know of a seller for a 38T, I can travel anywhere in U.S. to purchase.
I am keeping an eye on this thread, RV trader, RVT and craigslist for seller postings.
.
Happy RV'ing, its a lot of fun and some work but well worth it.
Cheers and thank you.
Best Regards,
Matt.
