Glad it seems to be just an uninformed seller. I bought a C from a gentleman that had similar "limited knowledge" on RV things.....generator won't start and talked him down another $5000 due to that and 5 year old tires. Replaced the house battery when I got it home and purred like a kitten.

I called the seller back and was very persistent on it having house batteries. I saw online where it had "dual 6 volt deep cycle auxiliary batteries. He was getting somewhat ill with me on my insisting that it had more than one battery. (Chassis battery) In his defense, he's 78 years old, original owner and bought it new. I told him about the auxiliary starting switch on the dash. He said that he had used it once! I said "how do you think it started then since your house battery was dead?" That got him to thinking....he finally started searching more and found 2-6 volt batteries!! He sent me a picture of them. They were probably 8 years old, still working! Within the next hour, he had gone and bought new replacements. He thanked me and said he was thankful that I had been so persistent. He is such a nice gentleman. I intend on going to see it, hopefully this week. Thanks everyone!


I don't understand. Why do you want to argue with the seller (over the phone) about what he does/doesn't have when you should be negotiating in person! IMO, if you are truly interested, you MUST go and look at this vehicle in person. Make an offer. You may want to explain why it's CONSIDERABLY less than the asking price. Then stop talking. Either your offer will be accepted or countered. Go from there. Why give your adversary information which is clearly not to your benefit? Would you prefer to pay a fair price, or, the highest possible price the seller can get? (because of information YOU gave him)
