Selling our Affinity

Yahoo Message Number: 98539
Since our Affinity has been advertised, I have received a lot of calls from brokers/dealers wanting to market the RV. Got an interesting proposal yesterday from Coast to Coast Marine and RV and wondered if anyone has any familiarity with them. They seemed to check out fine on the internet and I could find no negative reviews or posts. Thought I'd poll the group. Thanks in advance.

They are a take over payments type operation. That has never worked for  anyone I am familiar with.

Yea, go to their web site as a buyer. They tout owner financing. Good Luck.

Here is the link.

Just selling the Affinity; I'm a full time RVer; issues are forcing a change in lifestyle, but hope to return to RVing as soon as possible, but may join the Airstream crowd.

I came from the Airstream crowd, and they are very friendly and helpful people.  Let me give you a hint, motor homes are lot more convenient  to use, easier to set up and get ready to leave the next day.  The heating systems work better  as do the cooling systems.  Airstreams are pain if mom has to use the facilities very often do to blood pressure medications.  Airstreams don't have gen sets or advanced battery charging systems, like, motor homes.  New Airstreams don't have dual pane glass, like the older units and their cooling and heating systems are much noisier than motor homes and don't work as well.  I love the floor heating in our motor home.  Operating costs are much, much  lower for the trailer.  But you are going to have to get use to driving around in a 3/4 or 1 ton pick-up instead of a nice sedan or SUV.  Maintaining the plastic cote exterior finish is a pain.  Traveling in hot weather is not nice.  One air conditioner can't keep the unit cool.  A second air is mandatory  and waiting for the trailer to cool down can take a while.  Airstreams don't like hail.  The electric braking systems aren't near as good as the disc brakes from the past.  Airstreams do have quite a bit of hidden storage for a trailer, but nothing like a motor home.  Airstreams can't handle cold weather, unless they have twin pane glass even with two heaters.  If you are not familiar with backing with a trailer, you had better practice and insist on getting your self a back up camera.  And remember if the trailer says its 31 ft that is not the inside dimension but the distance from the trailer hitch to the rear bumper.  Going from our 34" Limited to our 36' Allure with one slide was like having twice as much space.  And if you have a four slide  45 ' coach, going down to 31 ft is going to be a real getting used to situation. PS. I would recommend getting a Genset  for the towing pick-up with an auxiliary fuel tank to power the air conditioning system on the trailer  while driving down the road in warm to hot weather.  And make sure the trailer is set up for 50 amp service.  Airstreams are the best, but they are not a Country Coach.  TWI 2004 Intrigue 11731, 1984 34" Limited Airstream travel trailer.

Thanks, that's exactly the type of info I need to make an informed decision. I realize it's going to be a step down, but I really don't have a choice; still considering a smaller CC as I'm a true CC person and really have enjoyed the heated floors, etc. But considering what I will be using it for (fishing trips and some cross country), it seems like a logical choice. I've got a way to go before deciding however and all this info is very helpful. Man I like this group, who know there would be this info as well????

Thanks again,

You realize you will pay more for a fixed up 30 ft Airstream new than you will for a good used 34' or 32' Allure from the early 2000 models.  TWI 2004 Intrigue 11731

yes, I'm beginning to realize that; but I really haven't shopped hard as yet, since I want to sell the coach before really deciding,

One of the last 34' Classic Airstreams produced was at the Camping World in Las Vegas for sale.  They wanted over $65,000 and that's a little steep.  They were $120,000 new as I remember.  There's a great Airstream dealer in Eugene, and you could have Premiere in Junction City sell the coach for you.  TWI 2004 Intrigue 11731
