2004 BOB LEE SPECIAL EDITION MAGNAS

Yahoo Message Number: 90135
There seems to be a lot of Bob Lee Special Edition Magnas for sale on different sites on the internet.
Is this a coincedence or is there something to be aware of as they all seem to have almost the same amount of miles.
We are in the process of buying one and hope there will be no serious problems with the coach.

thanks,

john sinnar

2004 Magna's just like my 2004 Intrigue have a few issues. The main ones are the slide rooms leaking, easily fixed if caught early. Failure of radiators, a common occurrence to all CC models from that period. Fan controllers, more of an issue with Cummins power units, it seems to me, or maybe we just yell louder. Make sure you have new tires, preferably 315 front and 12R's on the rear and 315's on the tag if they'll fit. Then you can rotate tires. Michelins are preferred. Some other things to consider are the obsolete TV's and video distribution system. Your Motosat satellite dish will eventually need to be replaced. Make sure your Onan genset has been serviced along with the Aqua hot. I don't know where you live, but if you are near an experienced CC tech, have him do an inspection for you. Check all the drawer pulls, there's a plastic part that needs attention once in a while. The over the door awnings are problematic, too. Check for window seal crawl and failure. It seams to be a common for the drivers windows. My nemesis has been the sliding step cover, which Eric finally fixed with a modification. I'm sure there maybe more or less depending on the previous owner. If he was fastidious you should have very few issues, almost better than new. Your Silver leaf may need to be updated. I hope you will be getting the service history of the coach.

Thanks very much for the information.
It is a one owner coach with less than 22000 miles but not much service history...
It will be checked out and serviced at Bob Lees Oregon Motorcoach Service Center before I buy it. Also having the local Cat dealer service the engine and cooling system and the local Cummins dealer check and service the generator, etc..... thanks,

I'm sure Jim Cooley and the boys are as familiar with the coach as they are mine. Make them be thorough. PS. have the boys at Allison do a chemical analysis on the transmission fluid. Probably be best just to change the fluid and filters. I guess it also time to replace hoses on the cooling system. Hoses supplying fuel to the Aqua hot and Genset will probably need replacing, if not already.
