I am not trying to advertise this rig for this company. I just want to know how a new DP can be 110k? I see it has a tube tv up front which is weird also. What am I missing here? What is the scam?

The company that built it is bankrupt. The only warranty that applies is chassis, Engine, Transmission and appliance. Roof leaks, slide failures and delamination are your problems.

That is why the seller covered over the brand name.

Good buy if you are willing and can afford to gamble.

Google for the model number, the manufacturer will pop up.

Seems to be a dealer. Doesn't name coach. Looks like a Coachman Cross Country. Looks nice. Contact them and ask questions. I am sure they will talk to you. If not, walk away. Lot more info on coach needed. Check it out close. Good luck.

The phone number is a cell phone number, not a business number, although they could be using their cell phone as a business line.

I went to instantphonelookups.com and received the following after a reverse lookup of the number. You can pay to get more info on the number if you want.

Phone Number: 563-508-9044 Line Type: Cell Phone
Location: Davenport, IA Full Report: Available

Not sure I would buy from them without being able to see where the "stock" is kept and a face to face.

Coachman is not out of business. Certainly does not look like a Country Coach. Look at door bottoms in pictures. Doesn't look like high end build.

This is a 2008 Coachman 382DS that list for about $163K, so dealer is giving about 32% off of list which is $110K. Since the 2009 models are out now he is trying to unload his 2008 models.

I find it strange that there are no markings that identify the make of this unit. The ad states that their franchise license does not allow them to identify when selling this low but no real markings on the outside?

I do not think that I would bid unless I could inspect.
