Title: Need Help With Purchase Inspection in SF Bay Area -- 2003 Intrigue

I have a deal to buy a 2003 Intrigue 40' Suite Sensation Cummins 400HP ISL. I will be flying in to inspect it, complete the deal, and drive it back home. The coach is in the Fremont area of SF Bay. I see there is a Cummins Service Center, Cummins West in nearby San Leandro where I will try to take it for a chassis inspection. Anyone familiar with them? Any of you have particular advice for the chassis inspection?
I will do the house inspection, but think I might like some good help with that. Anyone have any suggestions who I might contact in that area or are any of you interested in few hours of inspection work with me? Again, anyone have any particular advice for the house inspection?
I would also appreciate any advice on how the sale should be carried out.
I haven't nailed the date for my trip yet, but will be soon. Many Thanks!

Gary,

For the house inspection I have found it useful to observe the ceiling vents, AC and Fantastic vent, for cleanliness. The AC cold air return can be removed and has a filter on the inside. Also check the sink drains and the shower drain. Behind the toilet is another clue. People who keep all of these things clean have probably done as well on the more important items. These items are not critical but they do provide a clue.

Gary,

I lived in the East Bay for about 18 years. The company I worked for used trucks with Cummins engines. I had very good service when we needed specialized word to be done. We used Penske truck service for most of our work, however, often they would have Cummins do the engine work. The seemed to know what they were doing. Never had any issues in 10 years using them.
