SPECIAL INTERIOR

all windows have new quality cotton handmade curtains with decorative ties. The curtains compliment the new wallpaper behind the stove and sink AND the face covering on the refrigerator.

COMMENTS:
Although
this motorhome is in excellent condition, however, it is not new: the technician stated that the oven needs anew gas control valve. Most small RV’s are not equipped with ovens because stovetop burners and small microwaves are more energy-efficient to utilize. * The technician also said that the heater needs a new igniter. In order to avoid recalling the technician for a repair, and in order to expedite the sale; we will give the buyer a 0 credit to cover the cost. *The rear Sony sound system speakers donot work but the front cab speakers can be heard throughout the Sunrader.
WHY WE ARE SELLING?
Marie is retiring and wanted to have a small motorhome to travel with.   We traveled 1400 miles and she is not comfortable with the manual gear shifting, as she has only driven automatic.  When this is sold, we will purchase a small motorhome with an automatic transmission.
